Moral Distress, Conscientious Practice, and the Endurance of Ethics in Health Care through Times of Crisis and Calm
J Med Philos. 2023 Sep 28:jhad041. doi: 10.1093/jmp/jhad041. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWhen health professionals experience moral distress during routine clinical practice, they are challenged to maintain integrity through conscientious practice guided by ethical principles and virtues that promote the dignity of all human beings who need care. Their integrity also needs preservation during a crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic, especially when faced with triage protocols that allocate scarce resources. Although a crisis may change our ability to provide life-saving treatment to all who need it, a crisis should not chang...

Phenomenological Interview and Gender Dysphoria: A Third Pathway for Diagnosis and Treatment
J Med Philos. 2023 Sep 27:jhad039. doi: 10.1093/jmp/jhad039. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGender dysphoria (GD) is marked by an incongruence between a person's biological sex at birth, and their felt gender (or gender identity). There is continuing debate regarding the benefits and drawbacks of physiological treatment of GD in children, a pathway, beginning with endocrine treatment to suppress puberty. Currently, the main alternative to physiological treatment consists of the so-called "wait-and-see" approach, which often includes counseling or other psychotherapeutic treatment. In this paper, we argue in favor of a "thir...

Civil Liberties in a Lockdown: The Case of COVID-19
J Med Philos. 2023 Sep 4:jhad037. doi: 10.1093/jmp/jhad037. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn response to the spread of COVID-19, governments across the world, with very few exceptions, have enacted sweeping restrictive lockdown policies that impede citizens' freedom to move, work, and assemble. This paper critically responds to the central arguments for restrictive lockdown legislation. We build our critique on the following assumption: public policy that enjoys virtually unanimous support worldwide should be justified by uncontroversial moral principles. We argue that the virtually unanimous support in favor of restrictiv...
