  1. Are Physicians Obligated to Recommend a Plant-Based Diet? A Response to Maximilian Storz.Thomas Milovac - 2023 - The New Bioethics 29 (4):363-381.
    Maximilian Storz argues that physicians have an ethical obligation to recommend a plant-based diet to patients because such a diet: relieves certain chronic conditions, outperforms the Western diet (e.g. a diet containing animal products, among other things), and is ecologically sustainable. Contrary to these claims, I argue that a plant-based diet alone may not relieve chronic conditions, but potentially does so in combination with other lifestyle factors. With respect to the environment, I illuminate the landscape by discussing agricultural factors consistent (...)

  • “Green informed consent” in the classroom, clinic, and consultation room.Cristina Richie - 2023 - Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy 26 (4):507-515.
    The carbon emissions of global health care activities make up 4–5% of total world emissions, placing it on par with the food sector. Carbon emissions are particularly relevant for health care because of climate change health hazards. Doctors and health care professionals must connect their health care delivery with carbon emissions and minimize resource use when possible as a part of their obligation to do no harm. Given that reducing carbon is a global ethical priority, the informed consent process in (...)

  • Can United States Healthcare Become Environmentally Sustainable? Towards Green Healthcare Reform.Cristina Richie - 2020 - Journal of Law, Medicine and Ethics 48 (4):643-652.
    In 2014, the United States health care industry produced an estimated 480 million metric tons of carbon dioxide ; nearly 8% of the country's total emissions. The importance of sustainability in health care — as a business reliant on fossil fuels for transportation, energy, and operational functioning — is slowly being recognized. These efforts to green health care are incomplete, since they only focus on health care structures. The therapeutic relationship is the essence of health care — not the buildings (...)
