    What’s the beef with cultivated meat?Henrik Andersson & Andrés Garcia - 2024 - Etikk I Praksis - Nordic Journal of Applied Ethics 2:73-84.
    _Artificially cultivated meat may have environmental benefits and harm-reductive capabilities, making it crucial to establishing ethical food production practices. However, we argue that salient factors make producing and consuming artificially cultivated meat morally problematic. We detail some of these factors and highlight their roots in different ethical traditions. These factors present serious challenges to the moral permissibility of its production and consumption. We conclude that artificially cultivated meat is unlikely to be the best solution to today’s unethical food production practices.__ (...)

    Context-sensitive Dialogues.Vilhjalmur Arnason - 2024 - Etikk I Praksis - Nordic Journal of Applied Ethics 2:61-72.
    _This article reflects on the central themes of Vilhjálmur Árnason's work, particularly his focus on contextualized morality and dialogical ethics. Vilhjálmur emphasizes the importance of balancing individual freedom and responsibility with an understanding of social and political contexts. By examining relational ethics across healthcare, research, and public health, the article highlights his contributions to bioethics, including concepts like informed consent, scientific citizenship, and authorization in biobank research. Vilhjálmur 1 advocates for communicative reasoning and authentic dialogue as essential tools for ethical (...)

    Jet Travel and Desert.Sean Clancy - 2024 - Etikk I Praksis - Nordic Journal of Applied Ethics 2:85-99.
    _Jet aircraft produce large quantities of greenhouse gases when in operation, so one way for an agent to reduce her individual greenhouse gas emissions is by reducing the extent to which she flies. Some groups have encouraged agents to give up on flying for life by committing to a “travel pledge”. I argue here that, for many agents, it is morally impermissible to commit to a lifelong travel pledge, because in doing so, they would prevent themselves from receiving what they (...)

    From consent to authorization.Bjørn Hofmann - 2024 - Etikk I Praksis - Nordic Journal of Applied Ethics 2:35-47.
    _The turn from traditional paternalism and towards patient autonomy has made informed consent a key concept for medical ethics and health legislation. However, informed consent has been attacked for a wide range of shortcomings, both conceptually and theoretically, as well as practically. Vilhjálmur Árnason has suggested an alternative to informed consent, i.e., to give authorizations. Vilhjálmur 1 has been supported by other researchers, but the authorization approach has not been elaborated in any greater detail or come to widespread use in (...)

    Ethical relations, a connecting theme in Vilhjálmur Árnason’s work on Icelandic sagas, public deliberation, and encounters between patients and professionals.Henrik Lerner - 2024 - Etikk I Praksis - Nordic Journal of Applied Ethics 2:23-34.
    _This paper will explore two strands of Vilhjálmur Árnason’s extensive body of work: his analysis of dialogue ethics within medical ethics and his analysis of ethics in the Icelandic sagas. The central thesis is that combining these two strands, bioethics and literary analysis, can provide valuable insights to further the discussion of ethics among citizens in multicultural communities. _ _Vilhjálmur’s 1 analysis of the Icelandic sagas shows that the sagas have a specific value foundation, specific virtues as well as narrative (...)

    Ethics of life and death: changes in the book's content – and the philosopher‘s thinking?Svava Sigurdardottir - 2024 - Etikk I Praksis - Nordic Journal of Applied Ethics 2:49-59.
    Over the last four decades, Vilhjálmur Árnason professor emeritus in philosophy, has been at the forefront in the academic fields of moral and political philosophy, and medical – and bioethics in Iceland. His research and in-depth understanding of the ethical aspects of medicine and life sciences in Icelandic society are demonstrated by his extensive written work on these issues. In 1993, the first edition of his book _Ethics of life and death_ was published in Iceland, a comprehensive book on ethical (...)

    Vilhjálmur Árnason’s Call for Expanding Bioethical Discourse.Margit Sutrop - 2024 - Etikk I Praksis - Nordic Journal of Applied Ethics 2:11-21.
    _This article explores Vilhjálmur Árnason’s critique of contemporary bioethics, particularly its limited focus on individualistic principles, and its neglect of the broader social implications of emerging technologies. Vilhjálmur 1 argues that the commonly used “four principles approach”—respect for autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice—is inadequate for addressing the complex ethical and societal impacts of new technologies. He suggests that ethical evaluations must extend beyond immediate individual risks to consider broader societal consequences._ _In critiquing overly individual-centered bioethical frameworks, Vilhjálmur raises a critical (...)

    Cobalt mining and responsibility.Teppo Eskelinen, Jawaria Khan & Anna Härri - 2024 - Etikk I Praksis - Nordic Journal of Applied Ethics 1:65-82.
    _The article discusses the meaning of “ethical” in the context of ethical goods. Terms like “ethical” or “responsible” have assumed new meanings when used to indicate the quality of a product or material. In the article, we analyse the transformed notion of “ethical”, its limits and extensions, using the case of cobalt mining and electronics as an illustrative example. As a non-substitutable material needed by the booming electronics industry and mined in horrendous conditions, the use of cobalt brings forth difficult (...)

    Privacy in a Smart City.Martin Peterson & Barbro Fröding - 2024 - Etikk I Praksis - Nordic Journal of Applied Ethics 1:49-63.
    _An increasing number of cities around the globe aim to become Smart Cities through the implementation of a range of Information and Communication technologies (ICT), AI applications and cloud-based IoT solutions. While the underlying motivations vary, all such transitions require large amounts of data. In this paper, we articulate and defend two claims about privacy in a Smart City. Our first claim is that some level of systematic data collection and processing is ethically permissible. However, there is an upper limit (...)

    Compromises and Fairness.Juha Räikkä - 2024 - Etikk I Praksis - Nordic Journal of Applied Ethics 1:21-31.
    _Many philosophers have pointed out that a compromise that is fair in one sense can be unfair in another. In this paper, I will briefly introduce different ways in which compromises can be “fair” and then analyze them. In particular, I compare the importance of what I call (a) split-the-difference fairness and (b) end-state fairness. I will defend split-the-difference fairness against an important objection—that a person’s false belief about her fair share does not change what her fair share actually is. (...)

    Aesthetic-Epistemological Contradiction in the Concept of Water.Alicia Macías Recio - 2024 - Etikk I Praksis - Nordic Journal of Applied Ethics 1:33-47.
    _The following paper highlights the contradictions that exist in the understanding of water: it is considered a marketable resource over which one can exert power and, at the same time, a common good used by the planet’s species and ecosystems. Based on this, and after an analysis of several widespread ideas, the paper proceeds to describe the paradox in the perception of water as a product of an alienated aesthetics that makes it impossible to experience the after-effects of the Westernised (...)

    Public spirit and compassion fatigue.Trine Lykkegaard Sønderkær - 2024 - Etikk I Praksis - Nordic Journal of Applied Ethics 1:5-20.
    _This paper discusses the concept of compassion fatigue in light of the importance that political decisions, especially the application of the concept of public spirit, have had on care and nursing in a Danish hospital context during the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper is based on recent research literature in the field as well as the author’s own participatory observation study. The paper suggests that nurses already show a sense of public spirit due to their authorization and professional ethics, but at (...)
