On the ethical permissibility of in situ reperfusion in cardiac transplantation after the declaration of circulatory death
Transplant surgeons in the USA have begun performing a novel organ procurement protocol in the setting of circulatory death. Unlike traditional donation after circulatory death (DCD) protocols, in situ normothermic perfusion DCD involves reperfusing organs, including the heart, while still contained in the donor body. Some commentators, including the American College of Physicians, have claimed that in situ reperfusion after circulatory death vio…
The Fundamental Fallacy of “Empathic AI”
“Empathic AI” is being adopted in clinics as a means of offloading some of the work of clinician‐patient encounters. Indeed, a recent study reported that generative large language models such as GPT4 were perceived as being more empathetic than human physicians. I argue that encounters between AI chatbots and patients lack an essential feature of good clinical encounters —recognition. More fundamental than empathy, Hegelian recognition is a preco…
Mobile health technology and empowerment
Mobile Health (m‐health) technologies, such as wearables, apps, and smartwatches, are increasingly viewed as tools for improving health and well‐being. In particular, such technologies are conceptualized as means for laypersons to master their own health, by becoming “engaged” and “empowered” “managers” of their bodies and minds. One notion that is especially prevalent in the discussions around m‐health technology is that of empowerment. In this …
Consciousness and the Ethics of Human Brain Organoid Research
The possibility of consciousness in human brain organoids is sometimes viewed as determinative in terms of the moral status such entities possess, and, in turn, in terms of the research protections such entities are due. This commonsense view aligns with a prominent stance in neurology and neuroscience that consciousness admits of degrees. My paper outlines these views and provides an argument for why this picture of correlating degrees of consci…
Should Cerebral Organoids be Used for Research if they Have the Capacity for Consciousness

Citizen Science and Gamification
According to the mainstream conception of research involving human participants, researchers have been trained scientists acting within institutions and have been the individuals doing the studying, while participants, who are nonscientist members of the public, have been the individuals being studied. The relationship between the public and scientists is evolving, however, giving rise to several new concepts, including crowdsourcing and citizen …
