57Oocytes for sale?Metaphilosophy 38 (2-3). 2007.In order to reach its full potential, human embryonic stem cell (hESC) research requires the use of human oocytes.

In this essay I first explore possible alternative sources of oocytes for hESC research and conclude that, at prese…Read more

51Changing Values: A Commentary on HallEthics, Policy and Environment 16 (2). 2013.We think Hall (2013) is correct in arguing that the environmental movement needs a stronger narrative and believe that such a narrative requires significant nuance. Hall rightly recognizes the importance of appropriately framing the current narratives appealed to by the environmental movement. They are too simplistic and, as such, misleading. The optimistic frames tend to ignore the real losses people experience in trying to live greener lifestyles. The ‘doom and gloom’ frames are apt to foster …Read more
