Health Research Funders and Justice: Obligations to Coordinate and Counterbalance

open access: yesBioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Government health research funders are frequently criticized on the grounds that their distribution of resources fails to reflect a population's disease burden. These critiques do not take into account what other research funders are doing. In this paper, I argue that this is a mistake.

Shaping Future Children, Sex Selection, and “Normal” Human Capacities

open access: yesBioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT If we think that parents have an obligation to have a healthy child then we need to know what counts as healthy, when male and female children are born with very different capacities.

Respectful Debiasing in Democratic Deliberation

open access: yesBioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Democratic deliberation about health policy requires, as one of its inputs, ethical judgments from members of the public.
