Subjective energy poverty and attitudes on climate change mitigation measures
Objective energy poverty—commonly defined using indicators such as the relationship between energy costs, income, and energy required for adequate living—has been widely studied, yet less is known about how subjective energy poverty shapes attitudes toward climate change mitigation measures. This study examines theoretical and empirical links between subjective energy poverty and support for climate measures, including fossil fuel taxation and tw…
Nudge the rich! The case for targeting the top 10% in behavioural climate policy
In interventions for the common good, such as in the climate context, the choice of a target group does not directly determine the beneficiaries of the intervention. Instead, efficacy, acceptability, and fairness emerge as core considerations in targeting interventions. This paper examines targeting the top 10% by income and assets in climate interventions in light of the above considerations. Addressing the climate crisis requires significant ch…
Danger of Slippery Slopes in Nudge Research
Nudges are a way to steer people’s behavior through changes in how choices are presented. Nudge research has been incorporated into public policy in many countries, and nudge research, thus, has the potential to directly influence societies and individuals. As a result, research ethics for nudge research is needed to ensure that nudges developed are not instances of unethical manipulation of people. In this paper, I argue that two types of slippe…
Neglecting the care of older people in residential care settings
Neglecting to provide older people with the care they need in residential care settings leads to human suffering and increased service needs. Research is lacking on neglect in older people's residential care and one way to assess the key issues is to study complaints. The aim of this study was to analyse official complaints related to allegations of neglect in residential care settings caring for older people in Finland. The data covered 317 comp…
European Electronic Personal Health Records initiatives and vulnerable migrants
The effective collection and management of personal data of rapidly migrating populations is important for ensuring adequate healthcare and monitoring of a displaced peoples’ health status. With developments in ICT data sharing capabilities, electronic personal health records (ePHRs) are increasingly replacing less transportable paper records. ePHRs offer further advantages of improving accuracy and completeness of information and seem tailored f…

Consumer Autonomy and Sufficiency of GMF Labeling
Cultural Dependency in the Teaching of Ethics
Besides pedagogical challenges, teachers of university ethics courses have to meet ethical questions related to the teaching of ethics. Two such questions are considered. First, I analyse objectives of ethics teaching in general and in Finland in particular. It is argued that usually the main aims of ethics courses should be purely intellectual. However, some behavioural aims are also acceptable. It is prudential to teach moral prima facie rules …
Naturalness In Biological Conservation
Human Genetics and the Statement of Unnaturalness
As shown by Eurobarometers of years 1999 and 2002, human genetics raises debates concerning its naturalness and unnaturalness. According to the so-called statement of unnaturalness, practices and/or outcomes of human genetics are unnatural and, thus, morally undesirable. I show that the statement of unnaturalness cannot be contradicted simply by claiming that human beings are a part of nature, or that human beings are a case apart from nature. Af…
