Happy that my reply on organ markets and the limits of the best option argument has been accepted in the Journal of Medical Ethics. The piece clarifies why appeals to “best options” do less justificatory work under unjust background conditions than is often assumed. #organmarkets #bioethics

New book chapter out in this edited volume on organ markets. My chapter discusses theories of justice and controversial markets, focusing on how economic inequality shapes which markets are problematic. Thanks to the editors James Stacey Taylor and Marc Cherry. #bioethics #morallimitsofmarkets

That's it for my university webpage. Luckily, people can still see my work at ResearchGate, Google Scholar, etc. And good people have already suggested ways of creating my own website.

Now that I don't have an institutional affiliation, I am going to set up a website to share the work I've published over the years. Any suggestions for tools to build a simple website? #academicchatter

As the year ends, so does my contract at Aarhus University. Sad to leave after 14 years as a PhD student, postdoc, and temporary associate professor at the Department of Political Science.

Just submitted a piece on the moral limits of markets that me and two co-authors have been working on all year. Pouring a huge whisky to celebrate.

Excellent article on political equality by Jens Thaysen link.springer.com/article/10.1...

What are the moral limits of markets? Many people balk at the idea of markets for votes, kidneys, surrogacy, or sexual services. But why are some markets morally troubling while others are widely accepted? 🧵 #morallimitsofmarkets

I've been editing a special issue on voting advice applications (with Tromborg, Garzia, and Marshall), and the first article has now been published. This has been a really smooth experience, and the articles are great! #VAA #votingadviceapplications www.cogitatiopress.com/politicsandg...

Today I was reviewer 10! The next time an editor can't find reviewers, they should ask Journal of Institutional Economics if they have a spare! #academicchatter #peerreview #academia

Very happy to wake up to the news that Transplantation has accepted my article on Denmark’s introduction of opt-out legislation for organ donation 🥳 #organdonation #bioethics

Great to see another reply to my article on justice and organ markets! Very happy to see this kind of engagement with my work. philarchive.org/rec/HENOMA-5

Lukewarm take: Journals shouldn't have reference limits. But reviewer and editors should push back against people who cite too much or too little! #academicchatter

Passed 600 Google Scholar citations! Happy and proud that people read, use, and challenge my work. That’s the best part!

A fellow philosopher wrote me that I’m the philosopher he disagrees with the most, and that he hasn’t read a single paper of mine he agrees with. I suppose I won’t get a plaque for my office for this achievement, but it does show remarkable consistency.

Very happy to see my article (with Knight) on anti-homeless hostile design published in @bjpols.bsky.social

This is what happened when AI acted as both author and reviewer - a study found AI peer-reviewers accepted fake AI-generated papers 4 out of 5 times. We need #PeerReview to be better, and human oversight is more vital than ever! #ResearchIntegrity #AI #AcademicPublishing #ResearchSky #AcademicSky

The new journal EXPERIMENTAL PHILOSOPHY will soon be accepting submissions!

Great workshop in Aarhus. Thanks Eli Feiring and Ben Davies for great discussions! Eli talked about non-attendance fees, Ben about basic needs and I presented about rare diseases and priority setting.

Dear fellow academics, Please stop using reply all when you get annoying emails. Best, My inbox

My review of Jordan Parsons' excellent book on opt out organ donation is now published in the American Journal of Transplantation #organdonation #biethics www.amjtransplant.org/article/S160...

🧵 New study: How does the Danish Medicines Council (DMC) actually set priorities? We interviewed 17 members and observed 3 meetings to understand how decisions about new medicines are made — and justified.👇 #bioethics #prioritysetting

As a reviewer I really appreciate journals that notify me about their decisions. I also learn from reading how others evaluated the paper. #peerreview

Submitted my report for our research project on the moral limits of markets to Independent Research Fund Denmark. A pleasure to work alongside Jens Thaysen, Simone Degn, and Jørn Sønderholm. An honour to lead such an excellent research group! #morallimitsofmarkets

Mood: Cranking up the volume on an old Neil Young concert and writing away on a draft.

New paper out! Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) is central to health-care priority setting. But when does it unfairly disadvantage people with disabilities? Nielsen, Hallsson, and I tested participants' views in a vignette-based survey (N = 1100, UK). 🧵#bioethics #discrimination

Attended the annual CEPDISC conference on discrimination on Friday. Lydia Tsiakiri did an excellent job presenting our paper on differential treatment based on vaccination status. Thanks to the organisers. Great to see new and familiar faces!

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...

Our article is online: The Moral Justifications of Disability Discrimination in Health Care Allocation: An Experimental Assessment #bioethics #xphi #experimentalphilosophy link.springer.com/article/10.1...

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
