Within the discourse of moral and political philosophy, personhood is a serious consideration to determine a person's moral status. This article considers some philosophical debates regarding the moral status of people with disabilities. It investigates the question: Why shouldn't people living with disabilities be treated as normal people? The answer to this question raises another one: Are capacity and personhood the only conditions to have moral status? If so, how should a person with a disability be defined? After searching for the answers to these questions, the article came to the conclusion that only moral status is not a result of having the capacity of moral agency but that it is based more on other things. Finally, I conclude that the capacity of acting virtuously or consciously or sentience is not on its own a sufficient condition to grant moral agency to an entity. There are many other conditions to consider the moral status of People with Disabilities.

Is Kant's regress argument reintroduced by Korsgaard well understood? What is the exact role of 'human dignity' in Kant's formula of humanity?

Some proponents of animal rights hold the view that nonhuman animals have the right to life, but at the same time, they adhere to the perception that the value assigned to a nonhuman animal’s life is much lower than that of human beings. This notion can be found in the works of Feinberg and Warren who have developed the idea of animal’s right to live. Both proponents agree that the other animals have weak rights to life. This paper attempts to show that the supporters of this argument have failed to explore adequately the view as why animals’ value to life is lower when compared to humans’ life. Here, the conceptions of these two authors in favour of weak notions of nonhuman animal rights are carefully scrutinized. Keywords:

This article has focused on the Aristotelian philosophy from which I have sketched some traits of biocentrism. Through the discussion, I have tried to defend the view that the state of having life is central to biocentrism. As such, I have shown that Aristotle is one of the best instances of the biocentric outlook. In the context of contemporary environmental philosophy, the biocentric worldview has been accepted as a life-based notion. It rejects the view of anthropocentrism. In addition, Aristotle has made another contribution with regard to the processing of matter and the flow of life, which is based on evolutionary biological grounds. This article has also shown that we should choose to receive the Aristotelian concept of biocentrism.

We cannot oppose its usefulness all on a sudden. Despite the usefulness of animal biotechnology, we cannot ignore the different adverse effects of this technology. All of these bring forth different ethical challenges. What is the environmental impact of this technology? Another ethical challenge is related to animal‘s welfare and human‘s health. In order to assessing the ethical challenges, this article has opted for Mepham‘s ethical matrix, which is a practical approach for addressing broader policy issues. I have focused on the application of this ethical matrix upon some contexts of animal biotechnology, such as bST and transgenic animal. Through the analysis, this article came to the conclusion that there are no short curt ways to reach an agreement on the application of animal biotechnology. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/...

For this purpose, I will first attempt to spell out the answers to the following questions: is it possible to defend minority rights in a liberal state? What is the problem regarding this defence of national minorities? Does anybody benefit from minority rights within a nationbuilding process? In order to find out the answer to these questions, I will first introduce the main line of thought found in Will Kymlicka’s views on the defence of the rights of national minorities, the nationbuilding process, and multiculturalism. Later, I will reassess the views of Kymlicka in finding the ways to defend national minorities with the aim of providing support to the minority cultures.

There are many ways that we can improve the lives of others, and some of the basic dilemmas of such advancement are represented in the papers published in this issue of EJAIB. After having 10 articles in the January 2014 issue, this issue sees only 4-because the length of the first two is long. A. S. M. Anwarullah Bhuiyan presents his review of Bioethics and the Challenges to Its Development in Bangladesh. The article includes the mention of the Bangladesh Bioethics Society that I had the great pleasure to be involved in the establishment of, and the general secretary, Prof. Shamima Lasker is a Vice President of the Asian Bioethics Association, who also talked on bioethics in the country during ABC14. Latifah Amin et al. present the results of a survey on Ethical Perceptions of Genetically Modified Crops in Malaysia, which confirms some earlier research that people in different countries draw different reasons about different applications of plant genetic engineering. The perceived benefits are important determinants of the choices that are made, as are risks and concepts of what is natural. The issue of safety to the consumer is on of food ethics, but as Prof. V. Balambal shows, in Ethical Values of Food Safety, there are many problems in ensuring food safety for people in production and dietary habits. Amber Ali Muhammad discusses some Issues of research ethics in developing world, with some reflections from Pakistan and elsewhere. The idea of beneficence also is a common justification for research. Whether we argue that bioethics is love of life, or follows the system of four principles of bioethics, or virtue ethics, or utilitarianism, etc., all people argue that bioethics is about doing good. As we consider the topics of our next projects for research in bioethics, reflect on the principles that motivate our choices for helping make the world better. Some of those topics will be presented in ABC15 in Japan, or other places (including the conferences of AUSN in Mexico on 29 June; or elsewhere), so please follow the conferences on the website and look forward to seeing many readers there. At American University of Sovereign Nations (AUSN) we will be holding summer schools to allow people to also obtain a Postgraduate Certificate in Bioethics and Global Public Health, for those who cannot come to do the whole Masters in Bioethics and Global Public Health, so I look forward to meeting many readers at the new campus and environment. Please follow the updates on the website.
