Racism in healthcare and bioethics
Race, as a ‘technology for the management of human difference’1 has profound repercussions for the health and flourishing of human beings across the world. Discrimination based on race occurs in our interpersonal relationships and institutions and influences people's access to fair health outcomes. This has once again become severely apparent in the pandemic. COVID-19 has created and reinforced health disparities that disproportionately harmed Bl…
Digitally supported public health interventions through the lens of structural injustice: The case of mobile apps responding to violence against women and girls
Mobile applications (apps) have gained significant popularity as a new intervention strategy responding to violence against women and girls. Despite their growing relevance, an assessment from the perspective of public health ethics is still lacking. Here, we base our discussion on the understanding of violence against women and girls as a multidimensional, global public health issue on structural, societal and individual levels and situate it wi…
Justice and the racial dimensions of health inequalities: A view from Covid‐19
In this paper, we take up the call to further examine structural injustice in health, and racial inequalities in particular. We examine the many facets of racism: structural, interpersonal and institutional as they appeared in the COVID‐19 pandemic in the UK, and emphasize the relevance of their systemic character. We suggest that such inequalities were entirely foreseeable, for their causal mechanisms are deeply ingrained in our social structure…
Sex selection and global gender justice
A core motivation of this paper is to recast sex selection as both a symptom of, and a contributing factor to global gender injustice, where the practice and its motivation are expressions of the broader structural inequalities and oppression faced by women and girls worldwide, be it in terms of status, relationships, or access to goods and opportunities (Jagger 2014, 23). While it may appear evident that the practice of sex selection is strongly…
Off‐Shoring Clinical Research: Exploitation and the Reciprocity Constraint
The last 20 years have seen a staggering growth in the practice of off‐shoring clinical research to low‐and middle‐income countries (LICs and MICs), a growth that has been matched by the neoliberal policies adopted by host countries towards attracting trials to their shores. A recurring concern in this context is the charge of exploitation, linked to various aspects of off‐shoring. In this paper, I examine Alan Wertheimer's approach and offer an …
Vulnerability and exploitation in a globalized world
Bioethics has changed considerably over the last few years. Increased global interaction, through the off-shoring of clinical trials, cross-border surrogacy, organ trafficking, and medical tourism, among others practices, has brought additional considerations to a discipline that has been, until recently, relatively contained within national borders. We aim to contribute to the discourse on exploitation and vulnerability in a way that reflects su…
