Arctic 2.0
Technology has an outsized impact on the modern world; it is how we have tamed our frontiers. But that role is largely ignored when it comes to the Arctic frontier. Emerging technologies, especially AI, can enable desperately needed services and infrastructure—but they can also challenge ethics, law, and policy, as they usually do. For instance, autonomous icebreaker ships pose a dual-use dilemma since they can be used for both humanitarian and m…
Empirical Objections to Torture
Those who support torture in ticking-time-bomb cases are often criticized as failing to consider empirical objections to torture; however, torture's critics often wield this charge uncritically, doing little more than throwing out platitudes without considering the role of those platitudes in the dialectic. I agree with the critics that more empirical engagement is owed than is typically on offer, but deny that such engagement vindicates their po…

Ethics of Human Enhancement
This paper presents the principal findings from a three-year research project funded by the US National Science Foundation (NSF) on ethics of human enhancement technologies. To help untangle this ongoing debate, we have organized the discussion as a list of questions and answers, starting with background issues and moving to specific concerns, including: freedom & autonomy, health & safety, fairness & equity, societal disruption, and human dignit…
Risk, Precaution, and Emerging Technologies
This paper explores a framework for thinking about risks inherent in emerging technologies; given uncertainty about the magnitude or even nature of those risks, deliberation about those technologies is challenged. §1 develops a conceptual framework for risk, and §2 integrates that conception into cost-benefit analysis. Given uncertainty, we are often pushed toward precautionary approaches, and such approaches are explored in §3. These first three…

Untangling the Debate
On the Autonomy and Justification of Nanoethics
Should Alcoholics Be Deprioritized for Liver Transplantation
Alcoholics should not be subject to deprioritization on a liver transplant waiting list if the belief is held that alcoholism is a disease and not an issue of moral failure for which the patient should be blamed. Virtual Mentor is a monthly bioethics journal published by the American Medical Association
The Oregon Plan and Qalys
A controversial Oregon plan used quality-of-life assessments to provide fewer health care services to a larger pool of Medicaid patients. Virtual Mentor is a monthly bioethics journal published by the American Medical Association
