We should not vaccinate the young to protect the old: a response to Giubilini, Savulescu, and Wilkinson.
(Oxford University Press, 2021-05-19)
A recent article by Giubilini, Savulescu, and Wilkinson1 exposes an ethical issue that deserves careful analysis: should we vaccinate children to save the old? The answer provided by the authors is ‘yes’ under the condition ...
Gene editing and disabled people: a response to Felicity Boardman
(Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature, 2020-03-27)
Is the germline gene editing (GEE) of embryos with disabling conditions a moral obligation? According to a recent editorial by F. Broadmann, there are strong reasons to hold the opposite, since “ such a focus on the benefit ...
What Can We Do with the Data of Deceased People? A Normative Proposal
(Kluwer Law International, 2021-10)
The health and genetic data of deceased people are a particularly important
asset in the field of biomedical research. However, in practice, using them is complicated,
as the legal framework that should regulate their ...

Strong correlation between electronic bonding network and critical temperature in hydrogen-based superconductors
(Nature Research, 2021-09-16)
By analyzing structural and electronic properties of more than a hundred predicted hydrogen-based superconductors, we determine that the capacity of creating an electronic bonding network between localized units is key to ...
Hardy's uncertainty principle and unique continuation property for stochastic heat equations
(EDP Sciences, 2020-02-14)
The goal of this paper is to prove a qualitative unique continuation property at two points in time for a stochastic heat equation with a randomly perturbed potential, which can be considered as a variant of Hardy’s ...
