SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (online) – Orri Stefánsson (Stockholm)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Chance Prioritarianism \nLocation: Teams (online only)\, and streamed from Edgecliffe G03 \nAbstract: I will defend what we could call survival chance prioritarianism\, according to which the moral value of improving someone’s chance of surviving (some period) is greater the more likely the person was to die before the improvement. I motivate this view by showing that it justifies some common moral judgements that ex post views cannot accommodate\, but I suggest that we should resist generalising the view to all chances (so\, we should resist ex ante prioritarianism) and I give some reason for resisting survival chance egalitarianism. Finally\, I defend the view against some natural objections

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (online) – Lara Buchak (Princeton)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Risk\, Ambiguity\, and Ethical Decision-Making \nAbstract: I argue that it can be rational to defer to an authority about what to believe or what to do even when doing so goes against one’s own reasoning. Indeed\, such deference is rational in typical cases in which individuals treat others as authorities: for example\, experts in a domain\, interpersonal advisors\, and religious traditions. I explain the interplay between authority\, reason\, and disagreement\, and how rational faith gives rise to epistemic communities and governs their encounters with each other. \nLocation: Teams (online only) and streamed from Edgecliffe G03.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in person) – Cristina Richie (Edinburgh)
DESCRIPTION:Location: Edgecliffe G03 \nTitle: Green Bioethics: Environmental Sustainability and Health Care \nCommentator: Joseph Millum (58³Ô¹Ï) \nAbstract: Health care is ubiquitous in the industrialized world. Yet\, every medical development\, technique\, and procedure impacts the environment. By 2017\, the National Health Service’s Health\, and Social Care sectors had a carbon output (CO2) of 27.1 million tons. Carbon dioxide emissions contribute to climate change\, climate-change related health hazards\, and perpetuate environmental racism. In response\, the NHS has implemented a Carbon Reduction Strategy\, but this is a largely superficial approach to reducing the carbon emissions of the medical industry\, because it focuses on health care structures like buildings and transportation. The doctor-patient relationship and health care delivery are indeed the most carbon intensive part of the medical industry\, and indeed the scope of biomedical ethics. Thus\, Green Bioethics synthesizes environmental ethics and biomedical ethics to move towards sustainable\, just health care delivery in practice and policy.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in person) – Oskari Sivula (Turku)
DESCRIPTION:Location: Edgecliffe G03 \nTitle: Is the future a utility monster? \nAbstract: I will revisit Nozick’s utility monster thought experiment and draw an analogy between imagined utility monsters and the long-term future. I argue that the far future can be seen as a real-life utility monster. This is the case if the three premises that form the basis of long-termism are true: 1) the future is vast\, 2) morally speaking\, the future matters\, and 3) current people can (in expectation) positively impact the far future. Following that\, I consider a couple of apparent disanalogies between the original utility monster and the far future utility monster. Lastly\, I discuss some possible reactions to the argument made.
