  • Abortion Revisited

    Don Marquis, Bonnie SteinbockCHAPTERThe Oxford handbook of bioethics2009

    The three major classical accounts of the morality of abortion are all subject to at least one major problem. Can we do better? This article aims to discuss three accounts that purport to be superior to the classical accounts. First, it discusses the future of value argument for the immorality of abortion. It defends the claim that the future of value argument is superior to all three of the classical accounts. It then goes on to discuss Warren's…

  • Brill’s Objections to the Future of Value Argument

    Don MarquisARTICLESocial Theory and Practice2005

    The future of value argument for the immorality of abortion claims that the best victim-centered explanation for the wrongness of killing adults and children is that killing deprives them of their futures of value. Their futures of value consist of whatever, at future times, they will or would then regard as making their lives worth living. Fetuses have futures very much like ours; indeed, their futures contain whatever ours contain and more. The…

  • Culture of Death

    Don Marquis, Barbara J Daly et al.ARTICLEThe Hastings Center Report2002

    To the Editor: I found reading at one sitting the letters to the editor and the case study in the January-February 2002 issue of considerably more than passing interest. Here's why. Peter Singer rather widely known for claiming that infants. .. do not have the right to life.... Several letters... concern Wesley Smith's criticism of bioethics (in part) on the grounds that Singer an important figure in the bioethics movement. Al Jonsen has defended…

    Bonnie Steinbock, Don Marquis et al.ARTICLEThe Hastings Center Report1989

    A young pregnant woman, diagnosed as extremely immature with a personality disorder, refuses treatment to stop preterm labor despite advice that a premature birth may result in fetal death or a handicapped baby. Her physician considers acquiescing and risking a premature delivery, transferring the patient to a compliant physician, or obtaining a court order to force treatment. Steinbock, a professor of philosophy and public policy, takes a psycho…

  • An Ethical Problem Concerning Recent Therapeutic Research on Breast Cancer

    Open AccessDon MarquisARTICLEHypatia1989Cited by: 3

    The surgical treatment of breast cancer has changed in recent years. Analysis of the research that led to these changes yields apparently good arguments for all of the following: (1) The research yielded very great benefits for women. (2) There was no other way of obtaining these benefits. (3) This research violated the fundamental rights of the women who were research subjects. This sets a problem for ethics at many levels

  • Leaving Therapy to Chance

    Don MarquisARTICLEThe Hastings Center Report1983

    Marquis analyzes the design of randomized clinical trials of\nanticancer drugs and concludes that randomization is incompatible with the\nethical obligations of the physician patient relationship. Statistical\nrequirements and administrative complexities make it difficult to halt a trial\nbefore it has run its course, yet it is unethical to continue once there is\nevidence that one therapy is superior to another. Strategies for resolving\nthe dil…
