The Ethics of Reintroducing Large Carnivores
Efforts to reintroduce species to portions of their historic ranges are growing in number and kind. These include proposals and projects to reintroduce large carnivores in areas where these species have been absent for decades. Reintroductions, like all conservation efforts, involve not only empirical and logistical problems, but also complex normative questions. So, what are the obligations, values, permissions, restrictions, and demands that ci…
Conservation Floors and Degradation Ceilings
U.S. conservation policy, both in structure and in practice, places a heavy burden on conservationists to halt development projects, rather than on advocates of development to defend their proposed actions. In this paper, we identify this structural phenomenon in several landmark environmental policies and in practice in the contemporary debate concerning oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The burdens placed on conservation can …

Drum-Assisted Recovery Therapy for Native Americans (DARTNA)
Drum-Assisted Recovery Therapy for Native Americans (DARTNA) is a substance abuse treatment intervention for American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/ANs). This article provides results from 1) an initial pretest of DARTNA provided to 10 AI/AN patients with histories of substance use disorders, and 2) three subsequent focus groups conducted among AI/AN DARTNA pretest participants, substance abuse treatment providers, and the DARTNA Community Advisory …
The Incompleat Eco-Philosopher
Geoengineering, Ocean Fertilization, and the Problem of Permissible Pollution
Many geoengineering projects have been proposed to address climate change, including both solar radiation management and carbon removal techniques. Some of these methods would introduce additional compounds into the atmosphere or the ocean. This poses a difficult conundrum: Is it permissible to remediate one pollutant by introducing a second pollutant into a system that has already been damaged, threatened, or altered? We frame this conundrum as …
Is justice good for your sleep? (And therefore, good for your health?)
Do Animals Have Rights? – Alison Hills
Alison Hills’ recent book on animal rights offers an excellent introduction to the growing list of concerns surrounding this controversial question. Despite this abecedarian orientation, the book purports to offer a conclusion in moral philosophy. What it really does, however, is carve a centre path between the so‐called ‘extreme’ animal rights view and the view which sees no merit in the claim that animals have rights. It is ambitious in scope, …
The Moral Considerability of Invasive Transgenic Animals
Identity crisis
In this paper I present the position that the use of face recognition technology (FRT) in law enforcement and in business is restrictive of individual autonomy. I reason that FRT severely undermines autonomous self-determination by hobbling the idea of freedom of the will. I distinguish this position from two other common arguments against surveillance technologies: the privacy argument (that FRT is an invasion of privacy) and the objective freed…
