5Aneuploidy with chromosome instability is a cancer hallmark. We studied chromosome 7 copy number variation in gliomas and in primary cultures derived from them. We found tumor heterogeneity with cells having Chr7-CNV commonly occurs in gliomas, with a higher percentage of cells in high-grade gliomas carrying more than 2 copies of Chr7, as compared to low-grade gliomas. Interestingly, all Chr7-aneuploid cell types in the parental culture of established glioma cell lines reappeared in single-cell-…Read more

37Moral Psychology: Feminist Ethics and Social Theory (edited book)Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. 2004.Moral psychology studies the features of cognition, judgement, perception and emotion that make human beings capable of moral action. Perspectives from feminist and race theory immensely enrich moral psychology. Writers who take these perspectives ask questions about mind, feeling, and action in contexts of social difference and unequal power and opportunity. These essays by a distinguished international cast of philosophers explore moral psychology as it connects to social life, scientific stud…Read more

11From the EditorsInternational Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics 10 (2): 1-3. 2017.With this issue of IJFAB, we mark the end of one phase of the journal’s life and take our first steps into the next. It was eleven years ago, in 2007, that the first issue of IJFAB, then based at Stony Brook University and published by Indiana University Press, appeared with Mary Rawlinson as editor. That first issue was made possible by long months of work on the part of Mary and a group of others who were convinced that for feminist bioethics to develop as a field, it needed its own journal wi…Read more

17Doubt, Disorientation, and Death in the Plague TimeHastings Center Report 50 (3): 4-4. 2020.An account of an experience with contracting an illness that may well have been Covid‐19 gives rise to reflections on doubt and on the art of dying well. The upshot: our mortality remains a fundamentally disorienting condition of our existence. If there's any wisdom to be had concerning our deaths, it likely lies in the direction of accepting their deranging character, rather than in searching for the philosophical insight that will reconcile us to our fate.

26Bioethics Education Expanding the Circle of ParticipantsHastings Center Report 23 (1): 25. 1993.Bioethics education now takes place outside universities as well as within them.

29Just caring for the elderlyInternational Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics 6 (2): 36-40. 2013.Midway in Martha Holstein’s article, these words occur: “[P]eople [should] get the help they need, when they need it, in the way that they would like to receive it, without exploiting family members or imperiling their dignity or self-respect” (24). In an essay that brims over with worrisome news, that this seemingly anodyne sentence appears in the section devoted to utopian thinking is perhaps the most dispiriting thought it conveys. Not that there isn’t keen competition for the role. Holstein …Read more

37Donation by default? Examining feminist reservations about opt-out organ procurementInternational Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics 3 (1): 23-42. 2010.There is reason to believe that procuring organs from recently dead people who did not explicitly refuse to provide them—here referred to as “opt-out” arrangements—would ease growing shortages, thus extending the lives of many who otherwise would die soon. There is also a simple, apparently powerful argument—the “easy rescue requirement”—for believing that many people have strong moral reason to provide such life-extending support to others, thus bolstering the case for implementing opt-out syst…Read more

20Relativists and Hypocrites: Earp on Genital CuttingKennedy Institute of Ethics Journal 26 (2): 165-172. 2016.Cutting people’s genitals—at least, when thought of as an exotic practice—seems to interest philosophers chiefly as a source of problem cases for moral relativism. A ready-to-hand example is supplied by Simon Blackburn, in the relativism chapter of his charming little introduction to ethics text, Being Good: “If, as in some North African countries, young girls are terrifyingly and painfully mutilated so that thereafter they cannot enjoy natural and pleasurable human sexuality, that is not OK, an…Read more

14Medicine and Making Sense of Queer LivesHastings Center Report 44 (s4): 12-16. 2014.As practiced, medicine bumps along with the rest of us, doing its level best to cope with the contingencies of this often heartbreaking world. Yet it's a commonplace that much of medicine's self‐image, and a good deal of its cultural heft, come from its connection with the natural sciences and, what's more, from a picture of science that has a touch of the transcendental, highlighting the unmatched rigor of its procedures, its exacting rationality, and the reliability of its results.In contrast,…Read more

24A Comment on Fry's “The Role of Caring in a Theory of Nursing Ethics”Hypatia 5 (3): 153-158. 1990.Our response to Sara Fry's paper focuses on the difficulty of understanding her insistence on the fundamental character of caring in a theory of nursing ethics. We discuss a number of problems her text throws in the way of making sense of this idea, and outline our own proposal for how caring's role may be reasonably understood: not as an alternative object of value, competing with autonomy or patient good, but rather as an alternative way of responding toward that which is of value.
