2021 13th International Conference on Cyber Conflict (CyCon), 2021
In early 2020, the rapid adoption of remote working and communications tools by governments, companies, and individuals around the world increased dependency on cyber infrastructure for the normal functioning of States, businesses, and societies. For some, the urgent need to communicate whilst safeguarding human life took priority over ensuring that ...

The American Journal of Bioethics, 2023
The concept of personhood has been central to bioethics debates about abortion, the treatment of patients in a vegetative or minimally conscious states, as well as patients with advanced dementia. More recently, the concept has been employed to think about new questions related to human-brain organoids, artificial intelligence, uploaded minds, human ...

Palliative and Supportive Care, 2004
The effects of a disease alter every aspect of the person's being. Even with a fairly mild illness, treatment of the disease will change the patient's work and social habits, family relationships, and outlook. When the illness is cancer, and when, as in this particular case, death was almost certain in a short and measured time, the effect on the ...

Journal of Medicine and Philosophy, 1997
In this paper I argue that a Naturalist conception of personhood, such as the one defended by Derek Parfit, implies that there are degrees of personhood, i.e., that it makes sense to say one individual has a greater degree of personhood than another. I describe both criteria of general personhood, which distinguish between persons and non-persons, and ...

Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics, 2010
Traditionally, it has been assumed that metaphysical and practical questions about personhood and personal identity are inherently linked. Neo-Lockean views that draw such a link have been problematic, leading to an opposing view that metaphysical and ethical questions about persons should be sharply distinguished.

The Milbank Memorial Fund Quarterly. Health and Society, 1983
Concepts of personhood are embedded in a political and cultural context. The persistence of moral conflicts--and advances in biological and clinical sciences accelerate their number--and the difficulties of resolving them reflect features of our political culture. In the extraordinary American tension between individual and public life, controlling the

Ethics, 1978
In the abortion debate, one of the more overworked arguments concerns the if and when of the humanity of a fetus. For those who argue along these lines, the answer to these questions guarantees a resolution of the entire abortion issue. Thus, if the fetus is human, it must not be aborted except when the mother’s life is endangered (and, for some, not ...

Proceedings of the 23nd annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology, 2010
Any subset of reality can potentially be interpreted as a computer, so when we speak about a particular computer, we are merely speaking about a portion of reality we can understand computationally. That means that computation is only identifiable through the human experience of it.
