  • When (if ever) may doctors discuss religion with their patients

    Open AccessLauren Notini, Justin OakleyARTICLEBioethics2023

    There is ongoing debate within the bioethics literature regarding to what extent (if any) it is ethically justifiable for doctors to engage in religious discussion with their patients, in cases where patients cite religious considerations as influencing their medical decision‐making. In this paper, we concede that certain forms of religious discussion between doctors and patients are morally permissible (though not necessarily morally obligatory)…

  • Religious pluralism in healthcare

    Open AccessJustin Oakley, C A J Coady et al.ARTICLEBioethics2023

    The current approach to the accommodation of religious values and practices in public healthcare systems around the world is ad hoc, potentially discriminatory, and can be harmful to patients and families. Many countries are becoming more religiously diverse, and so a systematic approach to such accommodation is needed. Religious pluralism in healthcare raises many important ethical questions. What conceptual and practical conditions are needed t…

  • Should clinicians make chest surgery available to transgender male adolescents

    Open AccessRosalind Mcdougall, Lauren Notini et al.ARTICLEBioethics2021

    Bioethicists are increasingly engaged in considering the ethical issues associated with the care of transgender people. One such issue facing paediatric clinicians is requests for chest surgery from transgender male adolescents. For transgender young people who identify as male but have already progressed through the mid to late stages of puberty, hormone treatment will not reverse breast development. Some of these young people are distressed by …

  • Identity, well-being and autonomy in ongoing puberty suppression for non-binary adults

    Open AccessLauren Notini, Brian D Earp et al.ARTICLEJournal of Medical Ethics2020

    In this article, we analyse the novel case of Phoenix, a non-binary adult requesting ongoing puberty suppression (OPS) to permanently prevent the development of secondary sex characteristics, as a way of affirming their gender identity. We argue that (1) the aim of OPS is consistent with the proper goals of medicine to promote well-being, and therefore could ethically be offered to non-binary adults in principle; (2) there are additional equity-b…

  • Should Surgery for Hypospadias Be Performed Before An Age of Consent

    Adrienne J K Carmack, Adrienne Carmack et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Sex Research2015Cited by: 3

    Hypospadias is a relatively common genital condition in which the urethral opening forms on the underside of the penis, as opposed to at the tip of the glans. Patients with hypospadias are typically referred for surgery during infancy or early childhood. Recent evidence, however, indicates that many individuals with hypospadias do not experience the functional or psychosocial difficulties commonly attributed to the condition, and that surgical in…
