No consent for brain death testing
The overwhelming weight of legal authority in the USA and Canada holds that consent is not required for brain death testing. The situation in England and Wales is similar but different. While clinicians in England and Wales may have a prima facie duty to obtain consent, lack of consent has not barred testing. In three recent cases where consent for brain death testing was formally presented to the court, lack of consent was not determinative, and…
Family experiences with non-therapeutic research on dying patients in the intensive care unit
Experiences of substitute decision-makers with requests for consent to non-therapeutic research participation during the dying process, including to what degree such requests are perceived as burdensome, have not been well described. In this study, we explored the lived experiences of family members who consented to non-therapeutic research participation on behalf of an imminently dying patient. We interviewed 33 family members involved in surrog…
Psychiatric Interventions in Virtual Reality
Recent improvements in virtual reality (VR) allow for the representation of authentic environments and multiple users in a shared complex virtual world in real time. These advances have fostered clinical applications including in psychiatry. However, although VR is already used in clinical settings to help people with mental disorders (e.g., exposure therapy), the related ethical issues require greater attention. Based on a thematic literature se…
Human Autonomy, Law, and Technology
Scholars of technology have long puzzled over the question of the relationship between human societies and their technologies. Technological determinism suggests that the technologies present in a society have a determining effect on the structure of that society. Critics of this idea point out that the technologies are themselves developed by people within societies and so are themselves determined by the characteristics of those societies. It m…
The Autonomy of Technology
This article draws on the suggestion that modern technology is “autonomous” in that our social control mechanisms are unable to control technology and instead merely adapt society to integrate new technologies. In this article, I suggest that common law judges tend systematically to support the integration of novel technologies into society. For example, courts sometimes require parties seeking compensation for serious injuries to submit to medic…

Shrinking Violets and Caspar Milquetoasts
Pilgrimage to Kensington Palace
The death of Diana Princess of Wales led to an overwhelming popular movement which seemed to fuse elements of the roadside shrine phenomenon previously reported in Folklore (Monger 1997), pilgrimage on the Great Religion model, and New Age forms of expressing spirituality. The countrywide reaction to the death resulted in gifts and flowers being placed at town halls and council offices all over the country. Some were also placed at war memorials …
