A global redistributive auction for vaccine allocation
The global allocation of vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic is widely perceived as unfair. Priority was given to countries that paid the most with little or no concern for who needed the vaccines the most. No satisfactory institutions have been established to allocate vaccines in a future pandemic. In this paper, we join reformers in proposing a new scheme for vaccine distribution: a global auction for vaccines where profits are distributed fa…
Vaccination, Risk, and Beneficence
Should health authorities exclude vaccines with a small risk of severe side effects during a deadly pandemic, even if this is expected to lead to more harm due to delayed vaccination and prolonged social distancing measures? This question was at the centre of controversy amid the COVID-19 pandemic, where countries excluded vaccines with harmful side effects for some or all groups. Through this case study, I test the normative force and empirical …
Ruspolitikkens etikk
Hvordan bør samfunnet forholde seg til borgere som vil bruke rusmidler? I denne artikkelen argumenterer jeg for at liberalisme, paternalisme og utilitarisme utgjør tre konsistente verdisyn som støtter ulike posisjoner i samfunnsdebatten og politikkutformingen. Jeg redegjør for disse posisjonene og deres syn på hvordan samfunnet bør regulere rusmidler. Jeg undersøker også hvordan og i hvilken grad disse verdisynene støtter nylige reformforslag, so…
Ethical Solutions to the Problem of Organ Shortage
Organ shortage is a major survival issue for millions of people worldwide. Globally 1.2 million people die each year from kidney failure. In this paper, we critically examine and find lacking extant proposals for increasing organ supply, such as opting in and opt out for deceased donor organs, and parochial altruism and paired kidney exchange for live organs. We defend two ethical solutions to the problem of organ shortage. One is to make decease…
Prize, not price
Worldwide 1.2 million people are dying from kidney failure each year, and in the USA alone, approximately 100 000 people are currently on the waiting list for a kidney transplant. One possible solution to the kidney shortage is for governments to pay donors for one of their healthy kidneys and distribute these kidneys according to need. There are, however, compelling objections to this government-monopsony model. To avoid these objections, I prop…
Why States Should Buy Kidneys
In this article, I argue we have collective duties to people who suffer from kidney failure and these duties are best fulfilled through a government‐monopsony market in kidneys. A government‐monopsony market is a model where the government is the sole buyer, and kidneys are distributed according to need, not ability to pay. The framework of collective duties enables us to respond to several of the most pressing ethical and practical objections to…
The ethics of emergencies
Do we have stronger duties to assist in emergencies than in nonemergencies? According to Peter Singer and Peter Unger, we do not. Emergency situations, they suggest, merely serve to make more salient the very extensive duties to assist that we always have. This view, while theoretically simple, appears to imply that we must radically revise common-sense emergency norms. Resisting that implication, theorists like Frances Kamm, Jeremy Waldron, and …
Sex selection in India
When widespread use of sex‐selective abortion and sex selection through assisted reproduction lead to severe harms to third parties and perpetuate discrimination, should these practices be banned? In this paper I focus on India and show why a common argument for a ban on sex selection fails even in these circumstances. I set aside a common objection to the argument, namely that women have a right to procreative autonomy that trumps the state's in…
