About this Cambridge Elements Series
Bioethics and neuroethics play pivotal roles in today’s debates in philosophy, science, law, and health policy. With the rapid growth of scientific and technological advances, their importance will only increase. This series provides focused and comprehensive coverage in both disciplines consisting of foundational topics, current subjects under discussion and views toward future developments.
Elements in this series will address areas in which these fields overlap as well as where each is distinctive.
About the Editor - Thomasine Kushner
It is with immense sadness that we share news of the passing of Dr. Thomasine (Tomi) Kushner, Bioethicist, Founder and Editor of the Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics and the Cambridge Elements series on Bioethics and Neuroethics. Tomi passed away peacefully on 7 February 2025 in Greenbrae, California in the presence of people who loved and admired her. Her commitment to advancing bioethics through dialog and creating an international community to address complex bioethics questions was also reflected in the several conferences she founded and organized over the years, including the International Bioethics Retreat, Cambridge Consortium for Bioethics Education, and the ICM Neuroethics Network.
Tomi was a truly special friend, mentor, and colleague to many in the bioethics profession. Our hearts go out to her loved ones, friends, students, and collaborators. She will be deeply missed.
Thomasine Kushner, PhD, philosopher, is founder and Editor of the Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics.
