Metz on Enhancement: A Relational Critique.Luís Cordeiro-Rodrigues & Cornelius Ewuoso - forthcoming - Ethical Theory and Moral Practice:1-16.details Thaddeus Metz’s groundbreaking book A Relational Moral Theory provides a sophisticated moral theory hailing from the Global South. In this book, one of the theses he defends is that biotechnological enhancement is generally morally impermissible. This article, written for a book symposium on A Relational Moral Theory, primarily demonstrates how Metz’s criticisms presented in his book fail to convince. Furthermore, we explore some possible objections from Metzian deontology against enhancement and also show that these do not imply that enhancement is (...) Download Export citation Bookmark

Operative public values as a tool for healthcare decisions: the social value and clinical criteria of triage.Luis Cordeiro-Rodrigues - 2022 - Philosophy, Ethics, and Humanities in Medicine 17 (1):1-5.details With the current pandemic, many scholars have contended that clinical criteria offer the best way to implement triage. Further, they dismiss the criteria of social value as a good one for triage. In this paper, I respond to refute this perspective. In particular, I present two sets of arguments. Firstly, I argue that the objections to the social value criteria they present apply to the clinical criteria they favor. Secondly, they exaggerate the negative aspects of the social value criteria, while (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
