Call for Papers: Bioethics

The editors of the Wiley-Blackwell journal Bioethics will publish a special issue of journal on the topic “The Role of Solidarity in Bioethics.” The projected publication date is September 2012. Some potential topics include:

  • Is the human right to health, as enunciated in Article 12 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights, dependent upon or challenged by norms of solidarity?
  • Does international law support global solidarity with respect to health?
  • What are the implications of using a norm of solidarity for the health of immigrants, migrants, and displaced persons?
  • What are the distributive implications of solidarity as a bioethical norm?

The submission deadline is September 1, 2011. See the posting on Research Raven (scroll down the page) for more details.
