The Dead Donor Rule and Normothermic Regional Perfusion
Normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) can be used after the circulatory determination of death to prevent or minimize organ damage before the donor's organs are retrieved. It involves restarting circulation within the donor's body to reperfuse abdominal and thoracic organs while occluding the arteries that supply oxygenated blood to the brain to prevent brain recirculation and the possible restoration of brain function. Yet there are many who obj…
In vitro fertilisation mix-ups and contested parenthood
In 2025, an Australian couple asked to have their remaining embryos moved to another clinic, only to discover that the child they had birthed 2 years earlier had not come from their own embryos, but an embryo belonging to a different couple. These situations can lead to disputes about who is recognised as ‘the parents’ in the biological or social sense, as well as who has moral or legal claims to parental rights and responsibilities. In terms of …
Measuring employers’ demand for personality traits in job ads
We propose measures of employers’ demands for personality traits from job ads based on employers’ use of trait-descriptive terms from the psychology literature on personality. Identifying personality demands in job ads requires addressing challenges such as the prevalence of false positives. We demonstrate that as many as half of all instances of trait descriptive terms in job ads are false positives in the sense that they do not refer to workers…
Is germline genome‐editing person‐affecting or identity‐affecting, and does it matter
Writers have debated whether germline genome‐editing is person‐affecting or identity‐affecting. The difference is thought to be ethically relevant to whether we should choose genome‐editing or choose preimplantation genetic diagnosis and embryo selection, when seeking to prevent or produce bad conditions (e.g., cystic fibrosis, or deafness) in the individuals who will grow from the embryo edited or selected. We consider the very recent views of t…
Washington at the Plow
The powerful mythos of George Washington as a virtuous and honorable man who, in his youth, chopped down a cherry tree only to confess his transgression immediately, continues to shape popular public perception of the American Cincinnatus. Modern historians have worked to deconstruct this hagiographic image of Washington, and Bruce Ragsdale further contributes to these efforts with Washington at the Plow. Ragsdale not only focuses on the founding…
The Equivalence Thesis and the Last Ventilator
The potential shortage of ventilators during the COVID‐19 crisis has resulted in guidelines being published denying any moral difference between withholding and withdrawing medical treatment. This reflects some ethicists' support for ‘the equivalence thesis’, the idea that wherever it is permissible to withhold treatment, it is permissible to withdraw it, and vice versa. Some ethicists claim that doctors' opposition to the equivalence thesis disc…
Informing the Euthanasia Debate
In the debate on euthanasia or assisted dying, many different arguments have been advanced either for or against legal reform in the academic literature, and much contemporary academic research seeks to engage with these arguments. However, very little research has been undertaken to track the arguments that are being advanced by politicians when Bills proposing reform are debated in Parliament. Politicians will ultimately decide whether legislat…
Labor market mobility and the early-career outcomes of immigrant men
We examine the role of between- and within-firm mobility in the early-career outcomes of immigrant men. Among Canadian workers with less than 10 years of potential experience, we find that visible minority immigrants were significantly less likely to have been promoted with their initial employers than similar white natives but were just as likely to have moved to new employers over the course of a year between interviews. White immigrants, on th…
How the Perception of Control Influences Unemployed Job Search
The author considers how locus of control-the degree to which one believes one's actions influence outcomes-is related to an unemployed person's job search. He finds evidence that "internal" job seekers (who believe their actions determine outcomes) set higher reservation wages than do their more "external" counterparts (who believe their actions have little effect on outcomes) and weak evidence that internal job seekers search more intensively. …
Delegation and Consultation with Contingent Information
nformation makes the agent uncertain how her report influences the principal's decision. The agent's expectations regarding the principal's information and the relationship between the parties' information affect both the informativeness of communication from the agent and the allocation of decision-making authority when the principal has the option to consult the agent or delegate to her.

Informing the Euthanasia Debate
In the debate on euthanasia or assisted dying, many different arguments have been advanced either for or against legal reform in the academic literature, and much contemporary academic research seeks to engage with these arguments. However, very little research has been undertaken to track the arguments that are being advanced by politicians when Bills proposing reform are debated in Parliament. Politicians will ultimately decide whether legislat…
Labor market mobility and the early-career outcomes of immigrant men
We examine the role of between- and within-firm mobility in the early-career outcomes of immigrant men. Among Canadian workers with less than 10 years of potential experience, we find that visible minority immigrants were significantly less likely to have been promoted with their initial employers than similar white natives but were just as likely to have moved to new employers over the course of a year between interviews.
