  • Principles and Particularity: the Roles of Cases in Bioethics
    Principles and Particularity: The Roles of Cases in Bioethics JOHN D. ARRAS* INTRODUCTION Twenty-five years ago, when I was a graduate student in philosophy, the study of ethics had fallen on hard times. Some of the leading exponents of ethical theory had succeeded, for the time being, in showing either that all ethical judgments were reducible to emotive reactions-and hence irrational and indefensible'-or that the study of ethics, properly understood, had more to do with probing the nuances of the "language of morals"2 than with reflecting on the normative moral experience of real people in their mundane or professional capacities. The study of ethics had become a rarefied, specialized, technical, and, above all, dry discipline. Given the sad state of the field, many had begun to wonder whether political philosophy was dead. To be sure, books and articles continued to be written, and courses continued to be taught, but for many of us at the time such behaviors might have resembled the residual motions of patients in a persistent vegetative state more than genuine signs of life. The real "action" in philosophy lay elsewhere, around the "linguistic turn"3 or in continental theory, but certainly not in ethics. Not coincidentally, during my undergraduate and graduate years I was never exposed to anything remotely resembling a "case study" in ethics. If ethics was ever to establish itself as an intellectual enterprise worthy of respect, students were told, it would "have to ignore the grubby world of everyday moral concerns and concentrate instead on theory, abstraction, and the meaning of various moral terms.4 In my work today, however, I am mired in cases, both at the hospital, where the exigencies of clinical problems preclude leisurely invocations of philosophical theory, and even in my university classes on bioethics and the philosophy of law.

(Earthfiles Interview with Arjun Makhijani) © 2002 by Linda Moulton Howe Reporter and Editor, Earthfiles.com Red arrow points at India and Pakistan on opposite side of the world from Canada and the United States. The Marshall Islands where the U. S. experimented in the 1950swith many atomic tests is at the far left in the Pacific Ocean. From Marshall Island and Nevada Test Site nuclear explosions, radioactive fallout riding on the prevailing westerly winds reached North Carolina and New York, distances nearly equivalent to the 10,000 to 12,000 miles India and Pakistan are from the west coast of the United States. June 4, 2002 Takoma Park, Maryland – If India and Pakistan strike each other with Hiroshima-sized bombs, how much radioactivity could reach the atmosphere and fall out around the world? That is a question I began asking a week ago and discovered that very little is known about the consequences downwind of such a catastrophe. The National Atmospheric Release Advisory Center (NARAC) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California seemed like it should know. NARAC’s public affairs office describes its “primary function is to support the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Department of Defense (DOD) for radiological releases.” But when I asked an page 1 / 7 Institute for Energy and Environmental Research For a safer, healthier environment and the democratization of science informationhttp://ieer.org officer there for information about the spread of radioactivity in the atmosphere from a nuclear war in Asia, the answer was, “That information is classified in the interests of national security.” One scientist who wants to talk about potential radioactive fallout and its threat to earth life is Arjun Makhijani, Ph.D., President of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (IEER) in Tacoma Park, Maryland.

James Rocha, Bernard Rollin, Adam Shriver, and Rebecca Walker were fellow travelers with us on the amicus brief, but were unable to follow us to the book. Research assistants Andrew Lopez and Caroline Vardigans provided invaluable support and assistance at crucial moments. We have also benefited from discussion with audiences at the Stanford Law School and Dalhousie Philosophy Department Colloquium, where the amicus brief was presented, and from the advice of wise colleagues, including Charlotte Blattner, Matthew Herder, Syl Ko, Tim Krahn, and Gordon McOuat. Lauren Choplin, Kevin Schneider, and Steven Wise patiently helped us navigate the legal landscape as we worked on the brief, related media articles, and the book, and they continue to fight for freedom for Kiko and Tommy, and many other nonhuman animals. 4 1 Introduction: Chimpanzees, Rights, and Conceptions of Personhood In December 2013, the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) filed a petition for a common law writ of habeas corpus in the New York State Supreme Court on behalf of Tommy, a chimpanzee living alone in a cage in a shed in rural New York (Barlow, 2017).
