Journal of Medical Ethics, 2013
In his precis, James Stacey Taylor sets out his full-blooded Epicureanism, which concludes that “death is not a harm to the person who dies and that persons can neither be harmed nor wronged by events that occur after their deaths.”1 He then considers various topics in bioethics in the light of his Epicureanism, one of which I consider here: presumed ...

Potential Limitations of Presumed Consent Legislation
Transplantation, 2012A causal link has been proposed between presumed consent (PC) and increased donation; we hypothesized that too much heterogeneity exists in transplantation systems to support this inference. We explored variations in PC implementation and other potential factors affecting donation rates.
