Cost-Related Non-Adherence to Prescribed Medicines: What Are Physicians' Moral Duties?
Am J Bioeth. 2024 Apr 18:1-12. doi: 10.1080/15265161.2024.2337408. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAs the price of pharmaceuticals and biologicals rises so does the number of patients who cannot afford them. In this article, we argue that physicians have a moral duty to help patients access affordable medicines. We offer three grounds to support our argument: (i) the aim of prescribing is to improve health and well-being which can only be realized with secure access to treatment; (ii) there is no morally significant difference between medicines being unavailable and medicines being unaffordable, so the steps physicians are w...

Establishing and Defining an Approach to Climate Conscious Clinical Medical Ethics
Am J Bioeth. 2024 Apr 18:1-14. doi: 10.1080/15265161.2024.2337418. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAn anthropocentric scope for clinical medical ethics (CME) has largely separated this area of bioethics from environmental concerns. In this article, we first identify and reconcile the ethical issues imposed on CME by climate change including the dispersion of related causes and effects, the transdisciplinary and transhuman nature of climate change, and the historic divorce of CME from the environment. We then establish how several moral theories undergirding modern CME, such as virtue ethics, feminist ethics, and several theo...

Language in Bioethics: Beyond the Representational View
This article encourages a more linguistically engaged bioethics. We describe the tacit conception of language that is frequently upheld in bioethics-what we call the representational view, which sees language essentially as a means of description. We examine how this view has routed the field's theories and interventions down certain paths. We present an alternative model of language-the pragmatic view-and explore how it expands and clarifies traditional bioethical concerns. To lend concreteness, we apply the pragmatic view to a pervasive concept in bioethics and adjacent fields: decision making. We suggest that problems o...
