Originally published in Bioethics Today You can easily find Dr. Jamie Nelson’s decades of work and roughly 150 publications. What’s worth finding in them, and more valuable than the number of them, is the sense and sensibility with which that work, and Jamie’s life, was shot through. In 2009, I sat in Jamie Nelson’s office at Michigan State University, struggling to see my way toward finishing my dissertation. The stumbling block? A profound sense that the work was interestin

A guest essay from Dr. Zohar Lederman , Center for Medical Ethics and Law, The University of Hong Kong The International Journal for Feminist Approaches to Bioethics’ (IJFAB) aims to increase attention to the social, economic, and environmental determinants of health. It represents at least to some extent feminist bioethics as a whole. While feminist bioethics is not practiced solely by non-male scholars, feminist bioethics feminist bioethics is committed to addressing the c

The lastest FABGab episode is now up. We talk to Kayla Mehl and Paul Tubig about their paper "Challenging Anti-Fatness in the Climate Crisis" which was published in Vol18/Issue 1 of the journal - a special issue on Climate Change.

Thoughts on “The Case” in Public Bioethics This year I’ve been contemplating the ethics of highly publicized bioethics “cases.” Here I am thinking about medical (or medical-related) individual patient situations that enter mainstream awareness through news media, and then are debated in the public sphere, as well as among academic bioethicists. I am writing from the United States, where there is a history of these public cases shaping bioethics as a field. We can name patient

guest post from Mary Jean Walker , writing with Anne-Marie Laslett , Katherine Karriker-Jaffe and Ingrid Wilson Over the last few years, I’ve been thinking about ethical issues related to alcohol use. I’ve been especially interested in looking at issues related to intoxication, an area relatively neglected in ethics . Alcohol-related harms accrue in ways directed, in part, by gender. I’d like here to argue that feminist bioethicists could usefully engage more in this space.
