Philosophical Bioethics
My area of research is in Philosophical Bioethics (broadly construed) although this also intersects with healthcare law and policy
To date my primary area of research has focused on reproductive ethics and in particular the ethical issues associated with the practice of surrogacy.
Although from this work I have branching interests in areas such as (but not limited to):
> the use of empirical evidence in normative claims
> the nature of harm
> what constitutes commodification
> the structure of ethical claims and assertions
> medical technology
I also have related research interests in the following areas:
> Public Health Ethics
> Public and Patient Involvement in Research (PPI)
> Research Ethics
Teaching & Learning in Ethics
I have an interest in the teaching and assessment of ethics, law and professionalism within healthcare education and in particular within MBChB programmes.
