They've probably had those animals for years – they are like family
Companion animals, or ‘pets’, are integral to many people's lives and to their sense of home. However, older people living with companion animals are vulnerable to separation from their animals when moving to a care home. Such separation is often a highly significant loss which, combined with other losses, may reinforce experiences of dislocation. Existing research draws attention to the importance of developing a sense of ‘home’ in a care home t…
Relational dynamite
This article investigates how Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Testing (DTCGT) affects people impacted by donor conception by bringing empirical data on how people in this context respond to a DNA match into conversation with debates on kinship and personal life. Our aim is to conceptually engage with a salient emerging empirical theme, namely that people at the interface of donor conception/DTCGT respond to a (previously unknown) DNA match on a contin…
Update on the ethical, legal and technical challenges of translating xenotransplantation
This manuscript reports on a landmark symposium on the ethical, legal and technical challenges of xenotransplantation in the UK. King’s College London, with endorsement from the British Transplantation Society (BTS), and the European Society of Organ Transplantation (ESOT), brought together a group of experts in xenotransplantation science, ethics and law to discuss the ethical, regulatory and technical challenges surrounding translating xenotran…
What’s Law got to do with Good Science
This short paper is one element of a longer piece titled What's Law got to do with Good Science? It is presented here along with the introduction to the longer piece. In the longer piece, Murphy's paper is joined by two others, one by Marie Fox, the other by Ilke Turkmendag. All three papers engage with Charis Thompson's book Good Science. The longer piece concludes with a response by Thompson
No pets allowed? Companion animals, older people and residential care
This article is concerned with a particular site of inter-species relationships. Using the lens of liminality, it examines forced separation of older people from their companion animals when they move to a residential or nursing home in the UK. Such residential spaces frequently either exclude companion animals or fail to make adequate provision for them to accompany their human caretakers. We see such separation as a major bereavement for an old…
Bodily Integrity, Embodiment, and the Regulation of Parental Choice
In this article we develop a new model of bodily integrity that we designate ‘embodied integrity’. We deploy it to argue that non‐therapeutic interventions on children should be considered within a decision‐making framework that prioritizes embodied integrity. This would counter the excessive decision‐making power that law currently accords to parents, protecting the child's immediate and future interests. Focusing on legal responses to genital c…

Taking Dogs Seriously
This paper focuses on the ethics of human interventions in the lives of companion animals. It argues that human interaction with dogs can reveal much about what makes us human, but that in order to take dogs seriously and engage with them in an ethical manner we must interrogate a number of practices that have been accepted in dog breeding and owning circles. Here my focus is on querying the ethics of practices that involve direct corporeal inter…

Foreskin Is a Feminist Issue
The Regulation of Xenotransplantation in the United Kingdom After Ukxira
Xenotransplantation ‐ the transfer of living tissue between species ‐ has long been heralded as a potential solution to the severe organ shortage crisis experienced by the United Kingdom and other ‘developed’ nations. However, the significant risks which accompany this biotechnology led the United Kingdom to adopt a cautious approach to its regulation, with the establishment of a non‐departmental public body ‐ UKXIRA ‐ to oversee the development …
Short Changed? The Law and Ethics of Male Circumcision
Short Changed? The Law and Ethics of Male Circumcision MARIE FOX AND MICHAEL THOMSON Law School, Keele University Introduction Routine neonatal male circumcision has generally failed to excite medico-legal attention. Notwithstanding recent debates in the ethical literature, notably in special issues or symposia in the Journal of Medical Ethics (2004, 30) and American Journal of Bioethics (2003, 3), the law has yet to engage seriously with this is…
Imposing Liability for Losses from Aggressive War
Through an economic analysis of the work of the United Nations Compensation Commission (UNCC), this Comment seeks to understand better the process by which liability is imposed for losses caused by aggressive war. It concludes that a loss is appropriately compensable by an aggressor state if the war is a "but for" cause of the loss and ex ante the war increased the likelihood that the loss would occur. The loss need not be as foreseeable as in th…
