470The promise and challenge of nanovaccines and the question of global equityNanotechnology Perceptions 9 16-27. 2013.Among the many potential benefits arising from the rapidly advancing field of nanomedicine is the possibility of a whole new range of nanovaccines in which novel delivery mechanisms utilizing nanoparticles could make obsolete the use of needles for administering any vaccine.

33The Evolution of AutonomyThe New Bioethics 21 (2): 155-163. 2015.There can be little doubt, at least in the Western world, that autonomy is the ruling principle in contemporary bioethics. In spite of its ‘triumph’ however, the dominance of the utilitarian concept of autonomy is being increasingly questioned. In this paper, I explore the nature of autonomy, how it came to displace the Hippocratic tradition in medicine and how different concepts of autonomy have evolved. I argue that the reduction of autonomy to ‘the exercise of personal choice’ in medicine has…Read more

30‘Elective’ VentilationThe New Bioethics 19 (2): 130-140. 2013.The demand for organs prompted the first use of elective ventilation in the UK in the 1990s.

It is further argued that the practice of NTV in cases of severe stroke is unethical and has the potential of…Read more
