  • Ubuntu philosophy and the consensus regarding incidental findings in genomic research: a heuristic approach.Cornelius Ewuoso - 2020 - Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy 23 (3):433-444.
    This study adopts a heuristic technique to argue the thesis that a set of norms rooted in the African philosophy of Ubuntu can usefully supplement current research guidelines for dealing with incidental findings discovered in genomic research. The consensus regarding incidental findings is that there is an ethical obligation to return individual genetic incidental findings that meet the threshold of analytic and clinical validity, have clinical utility, and are actionable, provided that research contributors have not opted out from receiving such (...)

  • Realizing Ubuntu in Global Health: An African Approach to Global Health Justice.Nancy S. Jecker, Caesar A. Atuire & Nora Kenworthy - 2022 - Public Health Ethics 15 (3):256-267.
    The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the question, ‘What do we owe each other as members of a global community during a global health crisis?’ In tandem, it has raised underlying concerns about how we should prepare for the next infectious disease outbreak and what we owe to people in other countries during normal times. While the prevailing bioethics literature addresses these questions drawing on values and concepts prominent in the global north, this paper articulates responses prominent in sub-Saharan Africa. The (...)

  • Grounding Distributive Justice on an Ideal Family: What Familial Norms Entail for Inequalities.Thaddeus Metz - 2025 - In Ingrid Robeyns (ed.), Pluralising Political Philosophy: Economic and Ecological Inequalities from a Global Perspective. Oxford University Press. pp. 248-272.
    An idea salient in the African and East Asian philosophical traditions is that the right sort of socio-political interaction would be similar to the intuitive ways that family members ought to relate to each other. Applying this perspective to economic and ecological inequalities, I articulate some principles implicit in healthy familial relationships, show what they entail for certain aspects of distributive justice at the national level, and contend that the implications are plausible relative to competing theories such as utilitarianism, Rawlsianism, (...)

  • Managing feeding needs in advanced dementia: perspectives from ethics of care and ubuntu philosophy.Dina Nasri Siniora, Olinda Timms & Cornelius Ewuoso - 2022 - Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy 25 (2):259-268.
    The response to feeding needs in advanced dementia patients is a subject of ethical inquiry. Advanced dementia is the debilitating result of a range of neurodegenerative diseases. As this terminal illness progresses, patients develop mild to severe dysphagia that can make swallowing difficult. Of the two available options, artificial tube feeding or oral hand feeding, an estimated one-third of these patients will receive artificial tube feeding. However, observational studies have failed to validate the clinical benefits of tube feeding. Ethics of (...)
