Editorial Board

Editorial

With spring being almost here, I hope that you are enjoying the first rays of sun and warmer temperatures after this long and arduous winter.

With pleasure, I present you the April edition of the EACME Newsletter – this time in a modernized look that reflects the updated EACME design. We hope you like it!

In this edition, we – the EACME editorial board – aimed to cover topics and present research concerning the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic but also beyond: As regards the latter, C. MacKellar & T. Stammers present their study on exploring the ethics of generating posthumans; C. Schües & C. Rehmann-Sutter report on their qualitative interview study on justifications of bone marrow transplantation between children and its effects on family relationships; and F. Gille and I present our recent publication discussing Can we know if donor trust expires. In addition, J. de Snoo-Trimp presents her PhD thesis in which she developed the Euro-MCD Instrument to collect outcomes of Moral Case Deliberations and J. Martin depicts a book review on Public Health Ethics. In relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, J. H. Solbakk et al. present a provoking commentary on vaccine nationalism and the need for ethicists to take action.

Apart from the tremendous challenges brought by COVID-19 for societies worldwide, one development can however also be seen as an opportunity, namely the increasing and more common virtual collaboration via video-conferencing between academics worldwide. In line with this development, the EACME harnessed its potential and initiated three Webinars this year. S. Gloeckler & T. Manríquez Roa present a report on the first one which was held in collaboration with the Forum on Equitable Access and supported by the EACME on the timely topic of Who Gets a Covid-19 Vaccine and When? Please find more information on the next webinar and further ongoings within the EACME community in the remaining pages of this newsletter.
