Vaccines aren’t a partisan issue. The consensus in favor of vaccination in this country is very strong and extends across every religious, racial and political group…. There’s no reason it should be otherwise—communicable diseases don’t care what party you support. (Haelle 2015)

Abstract:Lack of time is a commonly reported barrier to healthy eating, but a literal lack of time is only one way that time may compromise eating well. This article explores how the first-personal lived experience of time shapes and is shaped by eating. I draw upon phenomenology and feminist theory to argue that the dynamic relationship between eating and temporality matters for food ethics. Specifically, temporalities and related ways of eating can be better or worse vis-à-vis key ethical concerns. I highlight the possibility of altering temporalities through strategic eating and consider implications for individual food choice and structural change.

The debates regarding vaccine hesitancy and refusal, Goldenberg argues, do not represent a war on science. If those who hesitate about childhood or COVID-19 vaccines trusted scientists and public health experts, they would be ensuring that children and themselves receive appropriate vaccines, the mantra goes. Witness for instance the cases of people willing to take experimental treatments against COVID-19, such as monoclonal antibodies, while they refuse COVID-19 vaccines on grounds that vaccines are experimental.

Goldenberg is calling for a "meeting of minds": a human encounter between the public health leadership and vaccine hesitators through a respectful engagement that interprets what vaccine hesitators say and do charitably, with an openness to differences in values. At the same time, we are also familiar with the ways in which COVID-19 vaccine hesitators are apparently willing to trust the medical establishment and even the same pharmaceutical companies as produced the vaccine when they become ill from COVID-19. For example, Goldenberg thinks that parental concerns that their child is "too sickly" for the vaccine, and that the vaccine presents a greater risk for them than the disease in a mostly vaccinated society may be legitimate (32-34).

Abstract:This article explores post-cesarean shame to understand how normative birthing ideals are tied to neoliberal and popular feminist expectations of what it means to be a "good" mother. Drawing on narratives shared on motherhood blogs, we note that feelings of shame associated with cesareans are tied to social pressures for unmedicated, vaginal birth. Rather than critique nonmedical or "natural" birth, this article explores the affective implications of approaching birth as a curated and controllable process. We conclude with suggestions for practitioners, moms, and their supporters on how to make room for births that are not good.

Thanks to the critics for their comments. I really appreciate the work they put into this, especially given how tired most academics are because of teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. I especially appreciated getting the comments ahead of time, which allowed me to think carefully about how to respond to them—in the ten minutes I have for responses! I’ll focus mainly though not exclusively on critical comments, which I have reframed as questions. I’ll also respond to each critic in turn, starting with Javiera Perez Gomez.

Abstract:At the 2022 Central American Philosophical Association meeting (Chicago, Illinois, February 23–26), there was an Author-Meets-Critics session on Carolyn McLeod's (2020) book, Conscience in Reproductive Health Care: Prioritizing Patient Interests. The event was organized and chaired by Heather Stewart and sponsored by the APA Committee on the Status of Women and Kate Norlock, chair of that committee. There were four speakers, including McLeod and three "critics": Javiera Perez Gomez, Alison Reinheld, and Jennifer Parks, who were all generous enough to provide McLeod with their comments beforehand. The sessions occurred over Zoom even though some speakers were present in person at the conference.McLeod kicked things off by providing a summary of her book, which was then followed by critical (and supportive!) comments by the critics in the order in which they're named above. McLeod responded to their remarks and then Stewart led a Q&A session with our small but lively and intelligent audience. The content of what was said has been reproduced here.

Abstract:Genetic information affects patients' families differently than other types of medical information. Family members might have a compelling interest in patients' genetic information, but who counts as family? In this article, I assess current definitions of family and propose a pluralistic account of family, which comprises definitions of family based on biomedical, legal, and functional aspects. Respectful of various forms of family, a pluralistic account includes those with interests in genetic information. Finally, I apply it in the hypothetical case of a sperm donor with a hereditary condition.
