I term these two sides the biological model and the social model. Without taking either side, this article contends that both models provide a fragile foundation for assessing the moral desirability of ectogenesis. I draw on Ronald Dworkin's luck egalitarian theory and Ron Amundson's perspective to demonstrate that both models are inherently interactionist and share the view that society's inadequate response to female reproductive traits is crucial in gender oppression. Actions on either biological or social factors are prima facie valid.

One unique form of ART, ROPA (Reception of Oocytes from Partner), recently stirred up controversy in China, when a custody dispute between a female same-sex couple who used ROPA brought this reproductive model into the public eye. Some Western scholars have argued for the legitimacy of ROPA from the perspective of autonomy and reproductive rights. Yet, these arguments do not easily translate into all cultural contexts, as this case will show. There is a need to articulate the ethical considerations of such technologies in light of local philosophical traditions. To that end, this paper will explore the permissibility of ROPA from a Confucian lens, exploring Confucian perspectives on naturalness, filial piety, family and social harmony.

While we are sadly used to seeing, on television screens at least, treatment given in situations of war and disasters—in conditions of extreme deprivation—there are concerns about the normalisation of less than optimal situations for delivery of care in relatively rich countries in peace time. Rachelle Barina has written of the distinction between places and spaces:</p><p>‘By <i>place</i>, I mean the material qualities, setting and location of health care delivery. The various <i>places</i> in which health care is delivered are also distinct <i>spaces</i>. By <i>space</i>, I mean not only physical and geographical qualities, but also the ideas, activities and symbols that form, result from, and function within places’.2</p><p>The distinction between the implications of old-style Nightingale ward arrangements and more intimate settings is a familiar one, but Barina also writes about the properties of Intensive Care Units, which are not just particular spaces but ones which have symbolic meaning around the use of the ventilator for example. Indeed, this was very evident during the COVID-19 pandemic.</p><p>‘Corridor care’ or care in spaces that have been referred to as ‘temporary escalation spaces’3 clearly has implications not only for patients but also for health care providers and for society more generally. As regards patients, concerns raised have included those related to privacy and dignity (although it has to be acknowledged that in a standard ward the use of a curtain may give visual but not verbal privacy). There are also issues about access to necessary equipment. The term ‘corridor’ symbolises a passing through, a way past rooms which one might want to enter. It is in those rooms that it might be imagined that desired resources might be found—but not accessible.</p><p>For health care providers, having one's role designated as a ‘corridor carer’ may give rise to diminished job satisfaction and frustration, through recognising that one does not have the wherewithal to give the care to the standard one would want. Sheather and Phillips, reviewing a guide to the ethics of corridor care published by NHS England,4 have argued that ‘[S]afe and good quality care cannot co-exist with treatment in corridors’.5</p><p>A key issue here is normalisation. When do ‘temporary escalation spaces’ become a permanent feature? This is an issue for consideration by managers, policy-makers and society more widely Arguably the very exercise of drafting principles for care in these circumstances only makes that outcome more likely.</p>","PeriodicalId":55379,"journal":{"name":"Bioethics","volume":"39 3","pages":"231"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/bioe.13401","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143423809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

My goal here is to enrich this special issue on the slow code with an argument for the permissibility of slow codes that is rooted in moral psychology. Specifically, if we take seriously the results from moral psychology, the slow code is not only permissible, it is often the best option. The context of the decision about whether to perform a slow code is analogous to thoroughly investigated moral dilemmas such as the trolley problem. In particular, when the trolley problem is framed as a trilemma, it becomes clear that the decisional context of the slow code is analogous to the famous moral dilemma. Since in the trolley problem the choice analogous to the slow code is the best choice, the slow code may be the best choice when facing patient or family requests for futile CPR. In establishing this claim, I address a range of objections to the slow code. I conclude with an empirically supported explanation of the conventional wisdom. Resistance to the slow code doesn't sprout from the act's moral properties, but from moral judgments influenced by other factors, such as emotion, physical distance, and personal force.</p>","PeriodicalId":55379,"journal":{"name":"Bioethics","volume":"39 4","pages":"359-367"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143411615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
