The Journal of Clinical Ethics, 1991
In public debates about the introduction of new technologies or about legalization of abortion, euthanasia, or HIV tests, an ever-recurrent argument is the slippery slope or wedge argument. It has been invoked against the legalization of abortion, euthanasia, in vitro fertilization, DNA research, and so on.

Ergonomics, 2001
The main objective of this paper is to give an overview of basic concepts and definitions of terms related to the 'measurement of slipperiness' from the onset of a foot slide to a gradual loss of balance and a fall. Other unforeseen events prior to falls (e.g. tripping) are sparingly dealt with.

Reasoning with Slippery Predicates
Studia Logica, 2008It is a commonplace that the extensions of most, perhaps all, vague predicates vary with such features as comparison class and paradigm and contrasting cases. My view proposes another, more pervasive contextual parameter. Vague predicates exhibit what I call open texture: in some circumstances, competent speakers can go either way in the borderline ...

Rootedness on the Slippery Earth:
2022This chapter examines the Latine protest tradition as it applies to movements for migrant justice in the U. S., acknowledging twentieth-century roots in the United Farm Workers movement and sixteenth-century roots in la Virgen de Guadalupe’s appearance to Juan Diego.

BMJ, 2011
Tallis’s argument about changing the law on assisted dying invites at least three comments.1 He claims that being able to “determine what is in your own best interest when you are of sound mind” is a fundamental principle of medicine and that “Nobody else’s views should be able to over-ride this right.” …

'Fear' is used scientifically in two ways, which causes confusion: it refers to conscious feelings and to behavioral and physiological responses. Restricting the use of 'fear' to denote feelings and using 'threat-induced defensive reactions' for the responses would help avoid misunderstandings about the brain mechanisms involved.
