Reassessing onco-exceptionalism
Given that only a small fraction of patients with cancer exhibits specific markers making them eligible for effective targeted therapies, this paper investigates the justification of treating cancer differently in terms of resource allocation when it comes to the application of novel precise therapies—the so-called onco-exceptionalism. Specifically, it assesses whether the reimbursement of expensive drugs is equitable. To do so, we first contextu…
Sources of vulnerability and ethical challenges in qualitative research with pediatric cancer patients
Qualitative research with children and adolescents with cancer has been gaining momentum since the early 2000s. However, a focused discussion of ethical aspects of qualitative research with this patient group has been largely neglected to date. Applying a relational perspective on vulnerability, in this article we discuss ethical challenges in qualitative research with patients in pediatric oncology. These vulnerabilities and ethical complexities…
Cases Abusing Brain Death Definition in Organ Procurement in China
Organ donation after brain death has been practiced in China since 2003 in the absence of brain death legislation. Similar to international standards, China’s brain death diagnostic criteria include coma, absence of brainstem reflexes, and the lack of spontaneous respiration. The Chinese criteria require that the lack of spontaneous respiration must be verified with an apnea test by disconnecting the ventilator for 8 min to provoke spontaneous re…

Resilience beyond reductionism
Since a number of years, popular and scientific interest in resilience is rapidly increasing. More recently, also neuroscientific research in resilience and the associated neurobiological findings is gaining more attention. Some of these neuroscientific findings might open up new measures to foster personal resilience, ranging from magnetic stimulation to pharmaceutical interventions and awareness-based techniques. Therefore, bioethics should als…
Life Sciences—Life Writing
Since the second half of the 20th century, the life sciences have become one of the dominant explanatory models for almost every aspect of human life. Hand in hand with biomedical developments and technologies, the life sciences are constantly shaping and reshaping human lives and changing human biographies in manifold ways. The orientation towards life sciences and biomedicine from the very beginning to the end of human life is driven by the uto…

Rationalities of Knowledge Production: On Transformations of Objects, Technologies and Information in Biomedicine and the Life Sciences. Since decades, scientific change has been interpreted in the light of of paradigm shifts and scientific revolutions. The Kuhnian interpretation of scientific change however is now more and more confronted with non‐disciplinary thinking in both, science and studies on science. This paper explores how research in …
