One health has brought to the fore connections-between human culture and nature-that underlie healthy (and unhealthy) ecological niches. Like other emerging environmental concepts-eco-health, one medicine planetary health-one merges scientific evidence with reasons for sustaining a environment. This narrative is not new, but importance of cogent way thinking about nature in ways that allow us ameliorate harms by activities become theme Anthropocene. Many societies face seemingly...

Background One Health (OH) is an interdisciplinary collaborative approach to human and animal health that aims break down conventional research policy 'silos'. OH has been used develop strategies for zoonotic Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID). However, the ethical case as alternative more traditional public approaches largely absent from discourse. To study ethics of OH, we examined perceptions ecological priorities management EID in Southeast Asia country Singapore. Methods We conducted a...

Pandemic plans recommend phases of response to an emergent infectious disease (EID) outbreak, and are primarily aimed at preventing mitigating human-to-human transmission. These carry presumptive weight increasingly being operationalized the national, regional international level with support World Health Organization (WHO). The conventional focus pandemic preparedness for EIDs zoonotic origin has been on public health human welfare. However, this populations resulted in strategically...

In this paper, the authors consider idea of public biobank governance framework with respect to innovative paradigm One Health. The Health initiative has been defined as an integrative and interdisciplinary effort improve lives well-being human beings non-human animals, well preserve environment. Here, we use approach a starting presumption institutional design. We examine theoretical legal underlying concept biobanking that, being orientated, is for good. suggest that account research...

This paper considers the tensions created in genomic research by public and private for-profit ideals. Our intent is to strengthen good at a time when doing science strongly motivated market possibilities opportunities. Focusing on emergence of gene editing, particular CRISPR, we consider how commercialisation encourages hype hope-a sense that only promise idealism can achieve progress. At this rate, reinforces structures promote, above all else, interests, but may attenuate conditions for...

Abstract During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, open science has become central to experimental, public health, and clinical responses across globe. Open (OS) is described as an commons, in which a right renders all possible scientific data for everyone access use. In this common space, capitalist platforms now provide many essential services are taking lead health activities. These neoliberal businesses, however, have problematic role capture of goods. This paper argues that commons community...

Suppose that a colleague proposed fantastic experiment: to introduce human stem cells into neonatal mouse so its entire brain developed "human-like" neuronal structures. The claimed it would still be mouse, and chimeric nothing like "human" one. It not, as result, have moral status beyond nonhuman animal origins. Thus, the "human neuron mouse" allow scientists tinker with human-like neurology in ways precluded if were being, promise lead substantial understanding of destructive incurable...

One health suggests that human and animal are comparable, but in practice, the concept aligns with principles of public ethics. ethics, as such, appears to eschew connotations equality for natural world. A theory agency revises anthropocentric assumption. This article begins a critique environmental dualism: idea culture nature separate social realms, thus justifying (unifying) purpose. In response, this argues that, first, neuroethics one might equally regard humans (some) animals, which...

The HUGO Committee on Ethics, Law and Society (CELS) undertook a Working Group exploration of the key ethical issues arising from genome sequencing in 2013. Imagined Futures paper group subsequently published proposed points to consider when applying genomic bioinformatics data repositories used medicine research ( http://www.hugo-international.org/Resources/Documents/CELS_Article-ImaginedFutures_2014.pdf ). Given ever-increasing power sequence human rapidly inexpensively—as well as trends...
