The global market of assisted reproductive technology (ART) offers new potential for reproduction, but at the same time opens a Pandora's box by confronting states with cross‐border reproductive care (CBRC) side effects. Literature on CBRC raises the adverse consequences associated with mixing the commercial and the intimate in different institutional, cultural, social, and national settings. The absence of any international or global regulations for governing CBRC has left each state to address the impacts and their attendant costs by themselves. Analyzed through the theoretical lens of vulnerability, I suggest instituting an international regulatory network based on a quasi‐public entity analogous to the United Nations, combined with widening the scope of statutory legislation of ART to include full coverage, broadening accessibility to ART, and improving safety and quality standards that should be contemplated with social capital provided by communities and groups to enhance individuals' coping capacities.Related Articles Barnes, Niekan. 2011.

Recent studies on disaster resilience policies focus on government and administrative shortcomings that prevent affected communities from improving their life circumstances. This article offers to break this cycle of disadvantage through greater utilization of community capacity building among disaster-affected groups that meet social justice principles in various regional settings. It is suggested that the central role of public administration is raised in developing empathetic relationships and facilitating collaborative action and a more resilient outcome. For this purpose, the author addresses an alternative model of disaster administration that follows a community-driven resilience process aimed at fostering well-informed, competent, and active participant communities.
This article adds to the debate on ethical issues surrounding public administration practice by an analysis of integrating partialities into impartial moral reasoning under two formalized theories of social justice. Such ethical deliberation takes a closer than usual look at the moral complexity of public administration practices of partiality. The validity of adopting partiality as a possible principle to guide ethical decision making in public administration will be examined within the broader theories of social justice and how it conforms to social justice criteria. The article concludes by showing how new ethical ordering of partiality and impartiality, supplemented by Walzer's spherical justice, provides a systematic method for considering partialities in public administration decision making.
This paper explores the challenges for policy makers with respect to the appropriate balance needed between relevant interests, such as private sector organisations, and individuals and communities who share their genetic information. The paper focuses on empowerment as a key strategic concept to which policy instruments purport to advance. The paper offers three frames of references that foster empowerment on personal and community levels, including privacy protection, avoidance of discrimination, and research profits and benefits sharing. Drawing on these themes of empowerment, this article critically compares policy instruments relating to genetic information in Germany and Israel.
This book argues that ethical evaluation of AI should be an integral part of public service ethics and that an effective normative framework is needed to provide ethical principles and evaluation for decision-making in the public sphere, at both local and international levels

This book analyzes whether the ""new debate on genetics"" owes a debt to eugenic practices by welfare democracies of 1930s and 1940s. More specifically, the question is whether precisely the same ""eugenic rationale"" used in the 1930s is philosophical akin to a new rationality unfolding in some Western European welfare societies that find themselves trapped in the modern dilemma of choosing between increasing immigration and population growth that leads to economic prosperity on the one hand, or halting immigration, protecting national identity, and suffering economic stagnation on
