  3. Article ; Online: What Do Prospective Parents Owe to Their Children?

    Levin, Abigail

    Abstract I consider the question of what moral obligations prospective parents owe to their future children. It is taken as an almost axiomatic premise of a wide range of philosophical arguments that prospective parents have a moral obligation to take such steps as ensuring their own financial stability or waiting until they are emotionally mature before conceiving. This is because it is assumed that parents have a moral obligation to lay the groundwork for their children's lives to go well. While at first glance such a premise seems benign, I will argue that when it is applied to arguments in assisted reproductive technology, as it is in Julian Savulescu's procreative beneficence argument or as it is in Daniel Groll's recent argument for open gamete donation, we see problems with this premise. Problems in Groll's argument also become apparent when it is scrutinized in connection with this premise.

  6. Article: The Life and Death of Freya the Walrus: Human and Wild Animal Interactions in the Anthropocene Era.

    Abstract Freya the Walrus, who often climbed onto docked boats to sunbathe and frolic, was euthanized by the Norwegian Department of Fisheries in the Oslo fjord in August 2022, sparking international outrage and media attention. Since walruses are social animals, and since the Anthropocene era of climate change has displaced animals from their Arctic homes, forcing them to migrate, we can expect more human-animal interactions at such places as marinas, where Freya met her end. This paper asks and attempts to answer how we can make such interactions just going forward? In cases such as Freya's, we need to reconcile three competing interests: the animal's interest in living a flourishing life as best they can in a changing climate; the public's interest in a safe and fulfilling wildlife encounter with an animal they have come to know intimately enough to name and follow devotedly on social media; and interests in maintaining private property. Examining these interests through the philosophical lenses of co-sovereignty, capability, and individuality, however, will yield more just results for animals in similar situations of conflict and co-existence with humans in urban spaces. We argue that, going forward, state resources should be expended to safeguard the public from marina access if safety is a genuine concern, while private money should be spent by marinas to enact safe animal removal with a no-kill policy.

    Abstract A knee ankle foot orthosis (KAFO) may be prescribed to the person with severe neuromusculoskeletal impairment of the lower limb to promote walking stability. The locked knee ankle foot orthosis (L-KAFO) is among the KAFO's routinely prescribed; however, long-term use of the L-KAFO is associated with musculoskeletal (arthrogenic and myogenic) and integumentary changes, and gait asymmetry with increased energy expenditure. Consequently, the risk of developing low back pain, osteoarthritis of the lower limbs and spinal joints, skin dermatitis, and ulceration increases, all of which impact quality of life. This article synthesizes the iatrogenic biomechanical and physiological perils of long-term L-KAFO use. It promotes using recent advances in rehabilitation engineering to improve daily activities and independence for proper patient groups.

    Abstract Aim: Language difficulties in children can have enduring impacts on their academic and emotional well-being. Consequently, early identification and intervention are critical. This study aimed to investigate the impact of introducing Språkfyran, a language screening tool, on the identification and referral rates for speech and language assessment compared to the previous method.
    Methods: An observational study was conducted in Gotland, Sweden, using the medical records of 3537 children (53% boys) who were 3-4 years of age. The study period lasted between 5 January 2016 and 29 April 2022, encompassing data collection both before and after the introduction of Språkfyran.
    Results: Following the introduction of Språkfyran, 15% failed the screening, compared to 20% with the previous speech test. However, referrals for assessment increased significantly with Språkfyran, rising to 7% compared to 3% with the speech test.
    Conclusion: The proportion of children who failed the Språkfyran screening was consistent with findings from previous studies. Children who failed the screening were more likely to be referred for speech and language assessment after the introduction of Språkfyran. This indicates that Språkfyran is a clinically relevant tool that promotes children's language development through increased referral rates.

    Abstract Background: A recent review of guidance documents on vaccine delivery costing revealed current guidance on cost projections for new vaccine introduction has gaps on methods of sampling, data collection and analysis. In preparation for updating the respective guidance, this systematic review was undertaken to qualitatively assess methodologies used in new vaccine cost projection studies. This will inform researchers and stakeholders about the methods of new vaccine introduction cost projections for strategic directions in countries where cost data are not available.
    Methods: We systematically searched four search engines (PubMed, Cochrane Open Access, Mendeley and Google Scholar) for articles on cost projections for new vaccines published between 1999 and 15 June 2022. We developed inclusion and exclusion criteria for the selection of articles and analyzed the results using a PRISMA 2020 flow diagram.
    Results: Out of 1,108 articles identified, 171 met the criteria for inclusion in the study. Half of the articles were from high-income countries (50%), and most cost projections were part of cost-effectiveness analysis (84%). The most common source of cost data was secondary national information (43%), followed by author's assumptions (17%), secondary international information (14%), and primary data collection (7%). 19% of studies didn't include costs to deliver vaccines in their cost estimation. Among studies that included secondary vaccine delivery costs, approximately half only calculated vaccine administration costs (50%), while 35% included incremental system costs and 15% utilized ingredients data. Two thirds of the studies were conducted to inform policymakers of the cost-effectiveness or cost-benefit of introducing the vaccine.
    Conclusions: Half of the economic evaluations on new vaccine introductions only included partial vaccine delivery costs. Thus, total costs of vaccine introduction were often being underestimated in economic evaluations. This suggests that guidelines on economic evaluations and journals should recommend that authors include more extensive vaccine delivery costs in their studies.
