Transformative Experiences, Anticipatory Regret, and Informed Consent
Regret risk is not consistently part of information sharing within informed consent. Yet two kinds of decisions that often invoke concerns about future regret, abortion and sterilization, raise considerations for the role of regret in clinical decision-making and informed consent, particularly regarding decisions about potentially transformative experiences. We distinguish between first-personal and second-personal anticipatory regret and argue t…

Commentary on Parekh’s No Refuge
Age—not sex or gender—makes the case of Ellie Anderson Complex
In ‘The Complex Case of Ellie Anderson’, Joona Rasanen and Anna Smajdor raise several ethical questions about the case. One question asks, but does not answer, whether Ellie faced discrimination for being transgender when her mother was not allowed access to Ellie’s sperm following her death. In raising the question, the authors imply anti-trans bias may have influenced this determination. However, this inference is not supported by current ethic…
Pediatric Off‐Label Use of Covid‐19 Vaccines
When the U.S. Food and Drug Administration fully approved the Pfizer‐BioNTech Covid‐19 vaccine for people sixteen and older, questions arose. Parents, pediatricians, and the media wondered whether Covid‐19 vaccines could be used off‐label—and whether they should be. The American Academy of Pediatrics cautioned against pediatric off‐label use of the vaccine, and the vaccine provider agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention app…
Intent, Responsibility, and the Treatment of Migrant Communities
At the U.S.–Mexico border, migrants have faced cruel treatment in the form of policies aimed at deterrence, as well as facilities lacking the capacity to treat migrants with dignity if they are apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security. In this paper, I use moral responsibility and atrocity crime frameworks to interrogate the responsibility of the individuals and collectives that are either bystanders to, or directly responsible for, the…
Negative Aesthetic Experiences of Prosecuting the Barely Alive
Theories of negative aesthetics claim that some aesthetic qualities like disgust, ugliness, and repulsiveness are instrumentally valuable, and can be justified as a necessary means to producing what might be considered an ultimately positive aesthetic experience. In an international criminal trial, the presentation of “ugly” visual and oral evidence may be justified in service of the aims of the trial. But when the “barely alive” are prosecuted, …
The Office of the Prosecutor
The international criminal courts and tribunals, especially the icc , have been strongly criticized for their susceptibility to political influence. Some have argued that the icc has a distinctly Western bias and is participating in a new kind of imperialism in Africa. Others argue that history and the complicity of the West should disqualify the international community from demanding the prosecution of individuals participating in conflicts resu…
Tracking Hate Speech Acts as Incitement to Genocide in International Criminal Law
In this article, I argue that we need a better understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of the current debates in international law surrounding hate speech and inchoate crimes. I construct a theoretical basis for speech acts as incitement to genocide, distinguishing these speech acts from speech as genocide and speech denying genocide by integrating international law with concepts drawn from speech act theory and moral philosophy. I use the…
