Virtues and Rules in War
On a contentious but still widely held view of the ethics of war, belligerents’ mutual imposition of risk licenses the harm they attempt to inflict upon each other. When this reciprocity of risk imposition is lost—when combatants of one side are able to inflict harm without exposing themselves to it—the moral balance is disrupted. Technologies that radically reduce risk, such as UAVs (drones) or autonomous weapon systems, are particularly challen…

Reactive Attitudes and AI-Agents – Making Sense of Responsibility and Control Gaps
Responsibility gaps occur when autonomous machines cause harms for which nobody can be justifiably held morally responsible. The debate around responsibility gaps has focused primarily on the question of responsibility, but other approaches focus on the victims of the associated harms. In this paper I consider how the victims of ‘AI-harm’—by which I mean harms implicated in responsibility gap cases and caused by AI-agents—can make sense of what h…
Premature consent and patient duties
This paper addresses the problem of ‘premature consent’. The term ‘premature consent’ (introduced in a 2018 paper by J.K. Davis) denotes patient decisions that are: (i) formulated prior to discussion with the appropriate healthcare professional (HCP); (ii) based on information from unreliable sources (e.g. parts of the internet); and (iii) resolutely maintained despite the HCP having provided alternative reliable information. HCPs are not obliged…
No Identification Without Representation
The human species is again becoming nomadic. Each year, about two billion persons move across large geographic distances (not to mention people in "virtual mobility" through information and communication technology). Many of these people have weak or unreliable identification documents-and many poorer people in developing countries do not even have these documents. In 2000, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) calculated that 50 million ba…
