Findings are reported from retrospective case note analysis undertaken with representative sample 150 Scottish adults recently diagnosed disorder.

Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health and one problem. Efforts to mitigate the problem of AMR are challenging implement due unresolved ethical tensions. We present an in-depth analysis tensions that might hinder efforts address AMR. First, there tension between access excess in current population: addressing lack requires facilitating use antimicrobials for some populations, while excessive other populations. Second, personal interests wider, shared interest curbing...
Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an urgent, global threat to public health. The development and implementation of effective measures address AMR vitally important but presents ethical questions. This a policy area requiring further sustained attention ensure that policies proposed in National Action Plans on are ethically acceptable preferable alternatives might be fairer or more effective, for instance. By analysing case studies coercive actions across countries, we can better...
Abstract This article aims to explore the ethical issues arising from attempts diversify genomic data and include individuals underserved groups in studies exploring relationship between genomics health. We employed a qualitative synthesis design, combining three sources: 1) rapid review of empirical articles published 2000 2022 with primary or secondary focus on diversifying data, inclusion this, 2) an expert workshop 3) narrative review. Using these sources we found that are interconnected...
Abstract There are increasing pressures for bioethics to emphasise ‘translation’. Against this backdrop, we defend ‘speculative bioethics’. We explore speculation as an important tool and line of bioethical inquiry. Further, examine the relationship between translational posit that can support work. First, speculative research might be conducted ethical analysis contemporary issues through a new lens, in which case it supports Second, first step prior work on topic. Finally, constitute...
Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been declared one of the top ten global public health threats facing humanity. To address AMR, coercive antimicrobial stewardship policies are being enacted in some settings. These policies, like all health, require ethical justification. Here, I introduce a framework for ethically evaluating on basis justifications (and their limitations). consider arguments from effectiveness; duty easy rescue; tragedy commons; responsibility-tracking; harm...
Nipah virus is a priority pathogen that receiving increasing attention among scientists and in work on epidemic preparedness. Despite this trend, there has been almost no bioethical examining ethical considerations surrounding the epidemiology, prevention, treatment of or research already begun into animal human vaccines. In paper, we advance case for further disease public health ethics due to distinct issues it raises concerning communication about modes transmission, burdens surveillance,...
Abstract Global consumption of antibiotics has accelerated the evolution bacterial antimicrobial resistance. Yet, risks from increasing resistance are not restricted to human populations: transmission resistant bacteria occurs between humans, farms, environment and other reservoirs. Policies that take a ‘One Health’ approach deal with this cross-reservoir spread, but often more restrictive concerning actions than policies focus on single reservoir. As such, burden justification lies these...
As we combat the COVID-19 pandemic, both prescription of antimicrobials and use biocidal agents have increased in many countries. Although these measures can be expected to benefit existing people by, some extent, mitigating pandemic's effects, they may threaten long-term well-being future people, where contribute problem antimicrobial resistance (AMR). A trade-off dilemma thus presents itself: using measures, or stop them order protect against AMR. Currently, I argue, are choosing continue...
Free to Decide: The Positive Moral Right Reproductive Choice Tess Johnson (bio) introduction advent of novel assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) has considerably expanded our sphere control over reproduction, and consequently, the scope ethical debate surrounding choice. widespread availability genetic selection, in particular, raises questions regarding what choice does should entail. Preimplantation diagnosis (PGD) for selection builds on vitro fertilization (IVF). It forces us...
Abstract The development of some COVID‐19 vaccines by private companies like Moderna and Sanofi‐GSK has been substantially funded various governments. While the Sanofi CEO previously suggested that countries fund this ought to be given priority, suggestion not taken seriously in literature. Considerations nationalism, sustainability, need, equitability have more extensively discussed with respect whether how much a country is entitled advance purchase orders vaccine under conditions absolute...
In May 2021, the UK National Health Service (NHS) proposed a scheme-called General Practice Data for Planning Research (GPDPR)-for sharing patients' data.Under that system, patient who does not wish to participate must actively opt out of their data being shared with third parties research and other purposes.In this paper, we analyse lessons can be learned responsible ethical governance health from NHS' new scheme.More specifically, explore extent which opt-out within planned scheme complies...
Abstract Public health policies designed to improve individual and population may involve coercion. These coercive require ethical justification, yet it is unclear in the public ethics literature which concepts might justify coercion, what their limitations are applying across contexts. In this paper, we analyse a number of from Western bioethics, including harm principle, paternalism, interest, duty easy rescue. We find them plausible justifications for coercion theory, but when applied...
Abstract Restrictive food policies are often contentious and controversial. Supporters of these view them as imperative for achieving public health aims while some opponents overly paternalistic, infringing on consumer choice potentially inequitable. As a consequence, their ethical status permissibility both contested importance in decision-making policy. Traditional analysis interventions has examined the implications according to direct, linear relationships between government impact...
Antimicrobial resistance has been termed a 'silent pandemic', 'hidden killer.' This language might indicate threat of significant future harm to humans, animals, and the environment from resistant microbes. If that is uncertain but serious, precautionary principle apply issue, require taking 'precautionary measures' avert antimicrobial resistance, including stewardship interventions like antibiotic prescription caps, bans on certain uses in farming sectors, eliminating over-the-counter...
Abstract Individualist ethical analyses in the enhancement debate have often prioritised or only considered interests and concerns of parents future child. The collectivist critique human argues that rather than pure individualism, a focus on collectivist, group-level considerations is needed for balanced analysis specific interventions. Here, I defend this argument insufficiency individualism. However, existing tend to take negative approach hinders them from adequately contributing...
