No Longer “Handmaiden”: The Role of Social and Sociological Theory in Bioethics.Alexis Paton - 2017 - International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics 10 (1):30-49.details Whether sociology should be part of bioethics has been extensively debated and critiqued. Feminist bioethics has long recognized the role of empirical work in bioethical inquiry; however, much feminist work in bioethics has been sidelined due to critiques of the role of social and sociological theory in bioethics research. In this essay, I examine how sociology plays a much deeper role in bioethical inquiry beyond the contribution of empirical methods. Building on these approaches, I show, through a case study, how (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 6 citations
Avoiding the slippery slope in ethics and bioethics: ‘ought’ entails ‘can’ and vice versa.Gail Tulloch - 1996 - Nursing Inquiry 3 (4):225-230.details This article addresses the slippery slope argument in ethics and bioethics, and demonstrates that a lack of consensus about human nature and what constitutes a person contributes to its frequent use in such areas. Rationality and autonomy are contrasted with sentience, and a utilitarian quality of life approach with a deontological sanctity of life approach as defining criteria of personhood. It is argued that the concept ‘quality of life’ is itself a slippery slope. Genetic engineering is discussed as a paradigm (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
In Appreciation of Anne Donchin's Life and Work.Laura Purdy - 2017 - International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics 10 (2):124-132.details This article is an expansion of comments I was honored to present at a celebration of the life and work of Anne Donchin at the June 2016 meeting of the International Network on Feminist Approaches to Bioethics in Edinburgh. It is obviously far from comprehensive, but I hope it gives readers a glimpse of an Anne of whose depths many of us were not fully aware. One of the most difficult parts of talking about someone who has died is highlighting (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
Justice, Care, and Questionable Dichotomies.Jean P. Rumsey - 1997 - Hypatia 12 (1):99 - 113.details Throughout the development of an "ethic of care" different from an "ethic of justice," the relationship between the two has been problematic. Are they theories between which one must choose? Are they complementary? Are they domain-specific? In support of my view that neither is adequate by itself, I here examine the private domain of care of the dying by intimates, and find there important issues both of care and of justice.

“Fatal Practices”: A Feminist Analysis of Physician-Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia.Diane Raymond - 1999 - Hypatia 14 (2):1-25.details In this essay, I examine the arguments against physician-assisted suicide Susan Wolf offers in her essay, “Gender, Feminism, and Death: Physician-Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia.” I argue that Wolf's analysis of PAS, while timely and instructive in many ways, does not require that feminists reject policy approaches that might permit PAS. The essay concludes with reflections on the relationship between feminism and questions of agency, especially women's agency. Download Export citation Bookmark
