Abstract

Because there is a large agenda of work that needs to be done to help ethicists to be better able to address ethical questions in healthcare from an environmentally conscious and globally coherent point of view, Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics is initiating this occasional column on global bioethics to provide a space to publish and discuss environmental issues in healthcare. We are initiating this section with a paper of my own outlining some broad concerns about healthcare ethics in a global context ["Casuist or Cassandra? Two conceptions of the bioethicist's role," p. 451-466] and are inviting readers to submit philosophical and multidisciplinary papers taking a global perspective on ethical issues in healthcare....

High hopes and automatic escalators: a critique of some new arguments in bioethics.

Two protechnology arguments, the "hopeful principle" and the "automatic escalator", often used in bioethics, are identified and critically analysed in this paper. It is shown that the hopeful principle is closely related to the problematic precautionary principle, and the automatic escalator argument has close affinities to the often criticised empirical slippery slope argument. The hopeful principle is shown to be really hopeless as an argument, and automatic escalator arguments often lead nowhere when critically analysed. These arguments should therefore only be used with great caution.
