American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Appellate courts with discretionary dockets have multiple ways to review lower courts.

Previous work has grouped these challenges under four categories: potential harms to patients; compromised informed consent; unfair allocation of healthcare resources; and conflicts of interest. We argue that recent technological developments in surgery warrant the addition of three new

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines Israel's destruction and ‘humanitarianisation’ of Palestinian health systems, arguing that this should be understood as an instance of ‘necropolitics,’ as conceived by Achille Mbembe.
