Neuroethics, Biocapital and the Attention Economy in the Times of Generative AI and Human–Machine Teaming
This short paper will argue that one of the most pressing issues related to the attention economy is the subjugation of cognitive capacity to conditions of neuro-capitalism, including through psychological discipline, biopolitically-weaponized mindfulness, and transhumanist interventions. In so doing, it will also consider how traditional concepts of the human fail to account for the myriad ways humans interact with technologies that may enhance …
Whose (germ) line is it anyway? Reproductive technologies and kinship
Reproductive biotechnologies can separate concepts of parenthood into genetic, gestational and social dimensions, often leading to a fragmentation of heteronormative kinship models and posing a challenge to historical methods of establishing legal and/or moral parenthood. Using fictional cases, this article will demonstrate that the issues surrounding the intersection of current and emerging reproductive biotechnologies with definitions of parent…
Precision medicine and Friedreich ataxia: Promoting equity, beneficence, and informed consent for novel gene therapies
Friedreich Ataxia (FA) is an incurable neurodegenerative disease with systemic consequences affecting vital organs including those of the central and peripheral nervous systems. This article will use FA as an example to explore some of the practical and ethical issues emerging in precision medicine for rare diseases. It will first describe the existing management strategies available for FA patients, before considering the potential impact of gen…
Toxic masculinity: A neglected public health problem
Rape by Deception in Popular Culture: The Hidden Harm in Body-swap Narratives
The increasing support for affirmative and informed consent to sexual activity has led to several jurisdictions, including the UK, several US states and Israel, to incorporate rape by deception, or rape-by-fraud, into laws against rape. Broadly, rape by deception involves the rapist making false claims about identity, fidelity, contraception and/or disease risk. False claims like these can make informed consent impossible and put the victim/survi…
The Moral Superiority of Bioengineered Wombs and Ectogenesis for Absolute Uterine Factor Infertility
This paper argues that uterine transplants are a potentially dangerous distraction from the development of alternative methods of providing reproductive options for women with absolute uterine factor infertility (AUFI). We consider two alternatives in particular: the bioengineering of wombs using stem cells (which would carry fewer risks than uterine transplants) and ectogenesis (which would not require surgical intervention for either the prospe…
Commentary on Romanis’ Assisted Gestative Technologies
Science fiction in bioethics: A role for feminist narratology
This article explores the various reasons science-fictional references feature so prominently in bioethical debate, particularly regarding emerging reproductive biotechnologies. It will reflect on how science-fictional references are often co-opted in bioethics scholarship to promote technoconservatism, before considering how bioethicists can engage more appropriately with this genre in practice. This will include a discussion of which kinds of t…
Public health crises in popular media: How viral outbreak films affect the public’s health literacy
Infectious disease epidemics are widely recognised as a serious global threat. The need to educate the public regarding health and safety during an epidemic is particularly apparent when considering that behavioural changes can have a profound impact on disease spread. While there is a large body of literature focused on the opportunities and pitfalls of engaging mass news media during an epidemic, given the pervasiveness of popular film in moder…
Utopian Literature and Bioethics: Exploring Reproductive Difference and Gender Equality
This essay explores how feminist utopian literature can inform bioethical debates regarding the fundamental differences between female and male experiences of human reproduction, focusing on the use of biological and technological methods to redress natural inequalities arising from biological difference. Inherently speculative, utopian fiction serves as a useful tool for interrogating social and political attitudes toward procreation and childre…
