... Finally, we consider four axioms that require certain assessments in the paradigmatic situations from Fig. 1 which are closely related to questions of moral luck [31,1,41], reasonable beliefs [3], and ignorance as an excuse [47]: ...

... Uninsured children have little or no access to dental care and only eighteen percent of children on Medicaid received dental care despite their entitlement to it under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment guidelines that regulate Medicaid. 11 In a representative state such as North Carolina, for instance, "[a]mong parents reporting their children's unmet healthcare needs, 57% reported unmet dental needs-nearly two times the number reporting a need for [non-dental] medical care." 12 And while many adults view dental care as more of a luxury than a pressing healthcare need, there are far-ranging health, educational, social, and economic effects of poor dental health on children, as Jonathan Kozol's interviews with poor families have brought to attention: To me, most shocking is to see a child with an abscess that has been inflamed for weeks, and that he has simply lived with and accepts as a routine part of life. ...

... (Tong, 2001;Tong, 2004;Tong, 2005;Tong, 2013;Tong, 2014), I realize the many shortcomings, inconsistencies, and limitations of my thought so far. Nevertheless, I am determined to try, once again, to explain what I mean by a feminist global bioethics and why I think it is important for the field of global bioethics in general. ...

... However, too much variation can obstruct progress. Khushf and Tong (2002) wrote, "The difficulties posed by the blurring of the clinical vs. administrative distinction permeate any attempt to specify the nature and function of organizational ethics. This is one reason why mechanisms for addressing organizational ethics have been so slow to develop, and why healthcare institutions cannot even figure out what kind of deliberative body should address these issues. ...

... After much deliberation, we chose principlism as the basis of our advisory algorithm because it provides a set of decision factors common across case types which lends itself to being translated into machine-readable values. Moreover, many authors (Gillon 2015;Veatch 2020), though certainly not all (Tong 2002), regard principlism as the most influential methodology for doing bioethics. ...

... Може да се претпостави дека програмите не се доволно интересни и корисни за родителите да ги посетуваат во поголем број, дека родителите можеби не се свесни за можностите што им се нудат во групите или, можеби, не се доволно мотивирани од стручните лица да ги посетуваат итн. Групите за поддршка треба да ги опремат нивните членови со знаење и вештини и да ги охрабрат да се стремат кон општествени реформи и нивно прифаќање, наместо помагање на родителите да развиваат лични придобивки и ставови (38). Слични аргументи се предложени од неодамнешните општествени движења, вклучувајќи и самозастапување на ЛПП (39), иницијатива на родителите што се однесува на различни институции (40) и други групи за поддршка (41). ...

... The Bodyworlds donor forms (which are handed out to visitors entering the exhibition at most venues) ask for bodies to be donated for 'research and educational purposes'. 6 Donors are able to tick boxes agreeing that their bodies 'can be used for the medical enlightenment of laypeople and, to this ends [sic], exhibited in public (e.g. in a museum)', and 'agree that my body can be used for an anatomical work of art', but this seems to be insufficient transparent consent to cover the nature of some of the Bodyworlds sensationalist displays (Burns 2007; Tong 2007). The Human Tissue Authority's guidelines on consent state that consent can only be given by someone who is 'appropriately informed' and has the capacity to agree to the proposed activity. ...

... First, like many other recently developed nations in the East, contemporary Taiwan society is blending traditional Confucian culture and Western culture by assimilation of Western values related to family structure and appropriate gender roles (H. C. Hsu & Shyu, 2003;Tong, 2007). Moreover, women belong to multiple social groups, which may result in exposure to changing sets of norms over time. ...

... The controversy concerns particularly the fact that there is no one formula to which to appeal in determining which course of action is right or wrong when making decisions about hastening or prolonging life, for example, according to Tong (2008). If such is the case, then probably the best decision that can be expected under the circumstances "emerges as the result of a slow process of consensus building, negotiation, and compromise. ...
