- In order to shorten queues to healthcare, the Swedish government has introduced a yearly "queue billion" that is paid out to the county councils in proportion to how successful they are in reducing queues. However, only the queues for first visits are covered. Evidence has accumulated that queues for return visits have become longer. This affects the chronically and severely ill. Swedish physicians, and the Swedish Medical Association, have strongly criticized the queue billion and have claimed that it conflicts with medical ethics. Instead they demand that their professional judgments on priority setting and medical urgency be respected. This discussion provides an interesting illustration of some of the limitations of new public management and also more generally of the complicated relationships between medical ethics and public policy.

Four Themes in Recent Swedish Bioethics Debates
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics. - 0963-1801 .- 1469-2147. ; 20:3, s. 409-417
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A wide variety of bioethical themes have recently been debated and researched in Sweden, including genetic screening, HPV vaccination strategies, end-of-life care, injustices and priority setting in healthcare, dual-use research, and the never-ending story of scientific fraud. Also, there are some new events related to Swedish biobanking that might be of general interest. Here we will concentrate on four themes: end-of-life care, dual-use research, scientific fraud, and biobanking.

Disgust in Bioethics
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics. - 0963-1801 .- 1469-2147. ; 21:2, s. 267-280
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We propose to advance the dialogue by clarifying the different ways in which disgust is used when dealing with bio- ethical issues, particularly those issues that relate to new biotechnological developments. We argue that discus- sions involving this concept are mud- dled because of a failure to clarify the particular content of the emotion and its manifestations, or because disputants are using disgust in different ways. We identify here four main uses of the concept of disgust. In some cases, dis- gust is used as an example to illustrate the proper role of emotional sensibility in bioethical thinking. In other cases, disgust is discussed as a possible source of moral knowledge that can help us discern the permissibility of biomedical practices or technologies. Disgust is also used as a rhetorical device to bring forth opposition or rejection of such practices or biotechnological advances. Finally, disgust is used in the bioethics literature as a tool that, on grounds of irrationality or ignorance, allows one to dismiss the concerns of those who appeal to disgust when rejecting new biomedical technologies. Of course, the different uses of disgust are interrelated, and sometimes more than one of these uses is found in the same work. We believe however, that these diverse uses have different normative implications, and thus it is impor-tant to clarify what it is that one wants to achieve when using the concept of disgust.

- Given the cultural psychoanalytic tradition that shapes the thought of Argentineans and their current skepticism with regard to the neurosciences when it comes to understanding human behavior, this article addresses the question of whether a healthy neyuroethics can develop in the country.

Actualizable Potential, Reproduction, and Embryo Research: Bringing Embryos into Existence for Different Purposes or Not at All
- 2010
-
Ingår i: CAMBRIDGE QUARTERLY OF HEALTHCARE ETHICS. - 0963-1801. ; 19:1, s. 51-60
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- It is morally permissible to engage in reproduction, whether natural or artificial, despite knowledge that a large number of embryos will fail to implant and quickly die, thenii) it is morally permissible to produce embryos for other purposes that involve killing them, for instance, to harvest stem cells that may be used to save lives.
