Patients’ experiences of unbearable suffering in assisted dying requests in Spain and Switzerland
In most countries where assisted dying is regulated, unbearable suffering is a key eligibility criterion. Yet, due to its deeply subjective nature, the assessment of suffering by third parties remains a challenge. Few studies have examined how patients themselves describe this experience. This cross-national qualitative study explores how individuals requesting assisted dying express and describe their experiences of unbearable suffering in Spain…
Between Safeguard and Constraint
There has been an increase in the number of jurisdictions legalizing or decriminalizing Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD). Legal frameworks worldwide strive to balance respect for autonomy with regulatory safeguards that both operationalize voluntary choice and prevent access to MAiD in cases of remediable despair or coerced decision‐making. However, the implementation of such an equilibrium diverges. Some legal systems prioritize personal auton…
“Just” accuracy? Procedural fairness demands explainability in AI-based medical resource allocations
The increasing application of artificial intelligence (AI) to healthcare raises both hope and ethical concerns. Some advanced machine learning methods provide accurate clinical predictions at the expense of a significant lack of explainability. Alex John London has defended that accuracy is a more important value than explainability in AI medicine. In this article, we locate the trade-off between accurate performance and explainable algorithms in…
Care ethics in theory and practice
The following interview was occasioned by the award of the Benjamin E. Lippincott Prize to Professor Tronto by the American Political Science Association in recognition of work of exceptional quality and lasting influence by a living political theorist
Ethical assessments and mitigation strategies for biases in AI-systems used during the Covid-19 pandemic
The main aim of this article is to reflect on the impact of biases related to artificial intelligence (AI) systems developed to tackle issues arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, with special focus on those developed for triage and risk prediction. A secondary aim is to review assessment tools that have been developed to prevent biases in AI systems. In addition, we provide a conceptual clarification for some terms related to biases in this partic…
End-of-Life Narratives of Patients who Request Medical Assistance in Dying
Many groups (healthcare professionals, lawyers, philosophers, non-governmental organisations, bioethics committees, journalists, religious groups, etc.) participate in the bioethical debate about medical assistance in dying (MAiD). Bioethics literature on the topic involve different approaches (analytic, empirical, policy oriented, activist) and various normative perspectives (discourses based on deontological premises as the sanctity of life and…
