It was a lot of fun talking about ethics, organ donation and the Danish opt-out law. The interview is for the show 'Supertanker' on P1. #bioethics

Doing proofs for a book chapter. understood the hate for doing proofs

When cities exclude the homeless, it is wrongful discrimination! In @bjpols.bsky.social Knight and I argue that hostile design (anti-sleep benches, spikes on window ledges) should be understood as discriminatory, and wrong for the same reasons as more familiar forms of discrimination. Very proud🥳

Such a joy to lecture medical students at Aarhus University today on the ethics of organ donation — from opt-out systems to priority for registered donors and even payment for organs. Fantastic questions and an inspiring discussion! #bioethics

The main reason Researchgate is, as the ad tells me, 'Better on the app' is that on the website I have to close the banner advertising the app #academia

Really happy to be part of this wonderful book project! 'Markets in Human Organs for Transplantation: Controversy and Contention' is coming to a bookstore near you in the fall! #bioethics #organmarkets www.routledge.com/Markets-in-H...

NEW - Anti-homeless Hostile Design as Wrongful Discrimination - cup.org/45JxUBl - @andreasalbertsen.bsky.social & Carl Knight #OpenAccess

New article published in @JME_BMJ I argue that priority rules in #organdonation may discriminate. But even if so, they’re not necessarily wrong. If wrong it’s for contingent reasons like demeaningness problematic motivations. #Bioethics #Discrimination jme.bmj.com/content/earl...

One of the notable aspects of the REDEM projects was the creation of a database of contributions to the ethics of voting literature. #votingethics #democracy www.redem-h2020.eu/te-ethics-vo...

Heading to Copenhagen to attend what looks like a very interesting meeting on healthcare priority setting in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Talks by @LarsSandman and Mathias Barra. #prioritysetting #healthjustice #Bioethics www.vive.dk/da/arrangeme...

Extremely proud to be serving as the third examiner on Jonas Franzen's phd thesis on Desert and Equality.

My new article with Annabelle Lever has just been published in CRISP🥳 “A new way to serve democracy: recruiting poll workers and electoral participation” We propose engaging non-voters—both citizens and resident non-citizens—as poll workers. #democracy #electionethics

I am (non-ironically) having a blast co-authoring in Google Docs. Keeps me on my toes that my co-author (Simon Rippon) is editing other parts of the document.

New article accepted in Journal of Medical Ethics! I argue that priority rules where registered organ donors are given priority may discriminate. But they’re not necessarily wrong. If wrong, it’s for contingent reasons like problematic motivations. #Bioethics #Discrimination #organdonation

Auto reply ON for the summer holiday 🥳☀️

Article accepted: (with Hallsson and Nielsen): The Moral Justifications of Disability Discrimination in Health Care Allocation: An Experimental Assessment Respondents consistently judged cost-efficient discrimination against patients with a disability as morally wrong.

My review of Jordan Parsons’ Opt-out has been accepted by American Journal of Transplantation! A thoughtful book on consent and organ donation—I’m glad to be part of the conversation. #Bioethics #OrganDonation #MedicalEthics

Best part of my working day was a 2,5 hours long zoom meeting on the moral limits of markets with Simon Rippon!

This is great! I discovered this when I asked about the status of a paper I have submitted to the Journal of Medical Ethics. Provides much more information than the usually available in editorialmanager etc(such as whether a reviewer has accepted the invitation to review). whereismypaper.bmj.com

My pre-holiday to-do list: – Encyclopedia entry on moral limits of markets – Article on luck egalitarianism & contested markets – Review of Parsons’ book on opt-out – Short piece on Danish opt-out law – 2 peer reviews – And: look for what’s next (contract ends Dec).

Thrilled for the opportunity to talk and listen to academics, practitioners and people with lived experiences with surrogacy and(!)/or organ donation. So much depth, nuance, and care at the conference in Bristol #bioethics Huge thanks to @theorganogress.bsky.social and Liam Davies for this🙏

Just finished my talk on luck egalitarianism and the moral limits of markets at Aarhus University's philosophy Department's Research Seminar. Now the weekend awaits for both the grasshopper and the ant.

I'm very excited about the living organ donation event in Bristol next week. I'll be talking about the limits of altruism. Thanks to Bonnie Venter (@theorganogress.bsky.social ) and Liam Davis for making this happen! (and you can join on zoom!) #bioethics #organdonation

Tomorrow Denmark becomes an opt out organ donation country. Adult citizens with no registered preference regarding organ donation will be registered as a 'non-confirmed consent'. But, people’s organs will only be used if they confirm or their relatives consent to this. #bioethics #organdonation

Loved hosting the Controversial markets conference in Aarhus❤️ Amazing talks and the exchanges just went on seamlessly. Talking about altruism walking the bridge with no end; debating crowding out in the beautiful forest and discussing organ markets over dinner. I could not have wished for more❤️🥳

For the next three days, I will be hosting the Controversial Markets Conference in Aarhus. I am looking forward to discussing the moral limits of markets with so many brilliant people. #morallimitsofmarkets Our project is funded by Det Frie Forskningsråd

Copenhagen bound! To give a talk on 'Market discrimination' at the CEPDISC Workshop on Poverty. I'll talk about how some of the badness of discrimination that happens in relation to market transactions can be explained by people not adhering to market norms.

Very interesting special issue in CRISP on Relational Equality and Intergenerational Justice! www-tandfonline-com.ez.statsbiblioteket.dk/toc/fcri20/c...

Will be reading this one!

I'm super happy that Kasper, Søren, Marion, and I got the Department's teaching award for our Philosophy of Science course (Fall 2025)! It was a big team effort all around, and a huge shoutout to our awesome TAs, Frederik, Anna, Marie, and Gustav!

Every now again it’s useful to repeat advice about accessing papers that are behind a paywall that excludes you. Email the author. My estimate is that 90% of academics are so thrilled that a living, breathing, possibly even reading, person shows interest that they will swiftly send you a copy.

Philosophy jobs Copenhagen : : :

Thrilled that an article I have written with Lasse Nielsen and Anna Dorf has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Bioethical Inquiry. It is about priority setting in the Danish Medicines Council. We collected the data in 2021. Science takes time! #Bioethics

New open access article on FirstView: "Folsom Transplant Blues: What is wrong with offering the incarcerated shorter sentences for donating organs and bone marrow?" by @andreasalbertsen.bsky.social and Jens Damgaard Thaysen. #OrganDonation #incarceration www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Great day in Copenhagen! I attended a workshop at The Centre for Medical Science and Technology Studies (MeST) and gave a talk on egalitarianism and rare diseases. #bioethics

Almost ready for tomorrow's workshop in Copenhagen. I'll give a talk on egalitarianism and rare diseases! #Bioethics

Today, a journal asked me if I could cut the number of references in an article to 40. Luckily, a compromise was reached, so 80 was deemed acceptable. pheew! #bioethics

It was a great day at work! Lydia Tsiakiri presented her work at CEPDISC on discrimination and personal responsibility. #bioethics

My article on the method of analytical political theory (with Lasse Nielsen) has been accepted in the Danish Political Science Journal, Politica. It is an introductory article and part of a SI on Methods in PT. It was fun to write and discuss with the other contributors

'Minor revisions' All is forgiven 🥳

I am as proud as one is allowed to feel about such things that my google scholar citations just passed 500🥳😅

New publication! In the Journal of Law and Medical Ethics, Thaysen and I argue against sentence reduction for prisoners who become living organ donors. Opportunity to donate may be unfairly unequal + the offer conflicts with most conceptions of why we punish. #organdonation #bioethics

There are more than enough bad reviews to go around! So, I wanted to share an uplifting experience. Didde Andersen and I wrote a paper on the permissibility of living vital organ donation. The reviewers helpfully challenged our arguments in the first round. #peerreview #bioethics 1/3

Today will be a good day!

My paper has been one year at a journal. How about a R&R to celebrate the occasion? #fingerscrossed #academicchatter

Lydia Tsiakiri just published the article 'Why a responsibility sensitive healthcare system is not disrespectful' - I am a very proud supervisor! #bioetics rdcu.be/edNaw

On my way to the annual meeting of the Danish Philosophy Society. As always, I am frantically preparing my slides. I will give a talk on 'Responsibility, Justice and Markets'!

typical book project timeline

Doing proofs for an academic article. It always feels very productive to figure out which city the publisher of some of the books I cited is located in... #detective #research #academicwork
