“I Wish I Could Have Been With You”
The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly reframed our ability to connect in bodily, physical ways, prompting a retreat to the digital. Artist Meriem Bennani and filmmaker Orian Barki offer a vessel for this escape in their series 2 Lizards, released in eight episodes in the early stages of the pandemic. Set in a New York populated by animal surrogates, the animated series showcases the eponymous lizards – voiced by Bennani and Barki – navigating the …
What Child Is This
If personhood involves the construction of a narrative identity, then what are we to say of someone who is seriously ill or disabled? How can her life have any narrative when she is unable to write one? In such cases, her personal identity must be written by those who care for her. They form stories about her that, fitted to the constraints of the circumstances, hold her in personhood
The Cost of "Informal" Care
Agraphic designer starts her own business, which requires most of her time and energy. Her mother, who has become increasingly withdrawn, anxious, and ill, needs to be taken to her doctor's appointments, can't keep track of her medical bills and insurance forms, and can no longer stay by herself. Meanwhile, as her aunt too becomes confused and paranoid, the graphic designer, overwhelmed by her responsibilities to both, has no time for her clients

Love and Justice in the Family
Feminism and Families
Sophie Doesn't
Girls learn the lesson of cognitive deference most clearly, perhaps, growing up in patriarchal families. Taught to discount their own judgments and to depend on those of the family's dominantmen, they lose self-trust and cannot take themselves seriously as moral deliberators. I argue that through the telling of counterstories, which undermine normative stories of oppression, it is sometimes possible for women to reclaim these families as places w…

Feminism, Social Policy, and Long-Acting Contraception
The authors apply a feminist approach to two social debates over the use of Norplant. A woman convicted of child abuse was offered the use of Norplant as a condition of parole. She would have had to remain in jail had she opted to not accept the method. While such an offer may be justified the authors find it to be harmful and disrespectful to women. In order to justify offering long-term contraception as a condition of probation it would have to…

Resistance and Insubordination
I introduce the notion of the counterstory: a story that contributes to the moral self-definition of its teller by undermining a dominant story, undoing it and retelling it in such a way as to invite new interpretations and conclusions. Counterstories can be told anywhere, but particularly when told within chosen communities, they permit their tellers to reenter, as full citizens, the communities of place whose goods have been only imperfectly av…

Preferences and Other Moral Sources
Of the many avenues opened for investigation by the push to facilitate advance care planning, two run along together like the lanes of a Los Angeles freeway. These are the empirical and ethical investigations regarding preference, and the traffic has recently been pretty heavy along both. Riding along the empirical avenue, we ask what people actually prefer, the discrepancies among their stated preferences, and whether proxy decisionmaking is in …
Case Study
Guided by Intimates
E.M. Forster's novel Howard's End might be seen as a parable of proxy decisionmaking that underscores the need for the sort of proposal Linda and Ezekiel Emanuel make. The book is full of salutary warnings against relying on families to be good stewards of the interests of their incapacitated members. When the dying Mrs. Wilcox bequeaths her beloved home to Margaret Schlegel, an acquaintance she has become fond of, the Wilcox family actually supp…

Cutting Motherhood in Two
Surrogate motherhood—at least if carefully structured to protect the interests of the women involved—seems defensible along standard liberal lines which place great stress on free agreements as moral bedrocks. But feminist theories have tended to be suspicious about the importance assigned to this notion by mainstream ethics, and in this paper, we develop implications of those suspicions for surrogacy. We argue that the practice is inconsistent w…
