Factitious disorder and liability
Some people deliberately fabricate illness or injury because they want to adopt the sick role. They have what was called ‘Munchausen’s Syndrome’ and is now called Factitious Disorder Imposed on Self (FDIS). People with FDIS not only harm themselves, they also cause harm to others, especially by diverting scarce health care resources away from those who need them. Should they be held criminally liable for the harm they do to others? The answer dep…

Against Dworkin's Endorsement Constraint

For certain kinds of important mistakes that people can make in their lives, the endorsement constraint is either incredible or too narrow to rule out as much paternalism as Dworkin wants. The endorsement constraint cannot be …
Freedom, Efficiency and Equality
