Lives worth living and the danger of ignoring non-identity limits on genetic preference
In this short paper, I detail a case against Dr Guido Pennings’s latest publication in the Journal of Medical Ethics , titled ‘The moral obligation to have genetically related children”. I argue that Pennings, despite raising awareness of issues of bioethical and scientific import, fatally neglects to interact with a central debate in reproductive ethics: the non-identity problem (NIP). Taking the NIP seriously, we can see that the moral obligati…
Measuring Social Trust in AI
What drives people to have trust in using artificial intelligence (AI)? How does the institutional environment shape social trust in AI? This study addresses these questions to explain the role of institutions in allowing AI‐based technologies to be socially accepted. In this study, social trust in AI is situated in three institutional entities, namely, the government, tech companies, and the scientific community. It is posited that the level of …

Among the strongest reasons cited by opponents of psychiatric euthanasia is the uncertainty behind the irremediability of psychiatric illnesses. According to this argument, conditions that cannot be considered irremediable imply that there are possible remedies that remain for the condition. If there are possible remedies that remain for the co…
Best to possibly not be
This article starts by examining the present state of death ethics by attending to the euthanasia debate. Given that voluntary active euthanasia has seen strong support in the academic community, insights on the choiceworthiness of continued existence may be derived. Having derived cases of choiceworthy nonexistence (which I refer to as choiceworthy nonexistence [CNE] cases), I extend these intuitions to lives not worth starting, or choiceworthy …
