Living Kidney Donations in Israel
Although the influence of religiosity on motivation to donate is established in the literature, this study inquires deeper to examine the impact of religiosity on a range of questions, such as perspectives on organ donation in general, postoperative experiences, and the role of the family in organ donation. Using data from a survey of 749 living kidney donors in Israel, we found that while religiosity levels serve as an indicator of willingness t…
Is solidarity a social determinant of health? Conceptual challenges in thinking about solidarity in health and healthcare
Solidarity is relevant to a wide range of fields of practice and policy. In this Introduction to a Special Issue on solidarity in health and healthcare, we discuss recent developments in the conceptualization of solidarity in healthcare, examine the relationship between solidarity and justice and the tensions between inclusion and exclusion. We argue for the treatment of solidarity as a foundational concept for healthcare, for two reasons: First,…
Are organ donations expressions of altruism or solidarity? Toward a moral economy of transplantation medicine
Organ donations are often referred to as tokens of altruism. Media representations of organ donation tend to emphasize its heroic features by using idioms such as “gift of life.” But is “altruism” the appropriate framing for organ donations? In this paper, I delve into the moral economy of organ donations. I contend that altruism is a misnomer for organ donations and suggest replacing it with the concept of solidarity. After discussing the analyt…
An explorative study on the challenges of solidarity in public health practice and teaching
This paper explores the place of solidarity in public health discourse and practice. We explore how public health experts define and understand the concept of solidarity in public health in their professional life and what are the challenges of rendering solidarity a competence in the training of public health practitioners. Semi-structured interviews were conducted online with 18 participants, including academic professors and public health stud…

Into the “New Normal”
Even though various countries' overall policy for dealing with the pandemic was not particularly innovative, the pandemic was perceived as a unique crisis. "COVID exceptionalism" has seemed to create "a new normal" that we all need to "learn to live with". The main change in perspective, while not new for public health experts, is that health exists within a social and political context. While public health ethics has turned out to be an importan…

The Political Economy of Organ Transplantation
From bioethics to biopolitics
While bioethicist Arthur Caplan claims that “The Nazi analogy is equivalent to dropping a nuclear bomb in ethical battles about science and medicine”, we claim that such total exclusion of this analogy is equally problematic. Our analysis builds on Roberto Esposito’s conceptualization of immunitas and communitas as key elements of biopolitics. Within public health theories and practices there is an inherent tension between exclusion (immunitas) a…
Medicine, Technology, and Religion Reconsidered
The introduction of respiratory machines in the 1950s may have saved the lives of many, but it also challenged the notion of death itself. This development endowed "machines" with the power to form a unique ontological creature: a live body with a "dead" brain. While technology may be blamed for complicating things in the first place, it is also called on to solve the resulting quandaries. Indeed, it is not the birth of the "brain-dead" that conc…
The Puzzle of The University on Air
At the end of 2013, the Israeli army radio station Galei Zahal decided to revise the format of The University on Air, a radio program that had served as a unique forum for academia and the media in Israel for almost four decades. Launched in 1977, and with over 6,000 aired lectures, the program, with its long history, is a telling case of academia and media in Israel. We present a topical analysis of all courses aired from 1977 to 2013 and sugges…
