Digital Platforms, Privacy, and the Ethics of Wildlife Information Sharing
Digital platforms allow wildlife enthusiasts to share information with larger audiences than ever before. However, by heightening awareness and human interaction, they can threaten the well-being of non-human animals (henceforth “animals”). One example of this is increased stress to Snowy Owls ( Bubo scandiacus ) from close observation by large numbers of people made possible by accurate, timely, and widely-distributed location information. In th…
Animals and the Scope of “Privacy”

Three and a half ways to a hybrid view in animal ethics
Clarifying the Ethics and Oversight of Chimeric Research
This article is the lead piece in a special report that presents the results of a bioethical investigation into chimeric research, which involves the insertion of human cells into nonhuman animals and nonhuman animal embryos, including into their brains. Rapid scientific developments in this field may advance knowledge and could lead to new therapies for humans. They also reveal the conceptual, ethical, and procedural limitations of existing ethi…

Then we consider a nonconsequentialist argument for DEI that draws on the moral significance of consent. Additionally, we consider arguments for the view …
