    How are pregnant women vulnerable research participants?
    International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics 5 (2): 82-104. 2012.
    Despite the attempts to promote the inclusion of pregnant women into clinical research, this group is still widely excluded. An analysis of the “vulnerability of pregnant women” that questions deeply internalized stereotypes is necessary for finding the right balance in the protection of pregnant women as research participants.

    The Ethics of Evidence
    with Nikola Biller-Andorno

    Basing normative judgment and policy on a rich empirical account of the issue at hand is usually a good idea. But doing nothing and awaiting further evidence can sometimes itself be bad judgment. This is the case with female genital cutting. We already know what is needed to define the conditions under which female genital cutting is morally unacceptable and that we can legitimately act on this knowledge.

    with Pingyue Jin and Nikola Biller-Andorno
    Developing World Bioethics 15 (3): 134-142. 2014.

Diese Art der Migration wird kontrovers aufgenommen. Einige Medienbeiträge beschreiben diese Praxis u. a. als „Greisen-Export“, „gerontologischen Kolonialismus“ oder „inhumane Deportation“. Die Begriffe weisen darauf hin, dass diese Migr…Read more
