Nielsen, L (forthcoming). Don’t Downplay ‘Play’: Reasons why health systems should protect childhood play.  Journal of Medicine and Philosophy

• Abstract: There has been much research on the importance of play for children’s development. However, questions of its political importance and our public institutions’ duties to protect it have been largely neglected. This article argues that childhood play is politically important due to both its intrinsic and instrumental value, and it suggests that the duty to protect the capability for play in childhood falls, at least partially, upon the public health system. If this argument holds, it follows that we have stronger duties towards our children than we currently believe.

Nielsen, L. (under review). Pandemic prioritarianism

• Abstract: Prioritarianism pertains to the generic idea that it matters more to benefit people, the worse off they are. And while prioritarianism is not uncontroversial, it is considered a generally plausible and widely shared distributive principle often applied to health care prioritization. In this paper, I identify social justice prioritarianism, severity prioritarianism, and age-weighted prioritarianism as three different interpretations of the general prioritarian idea and discuss them in light of the effect of pandemic consequences on health care priority setting. Upon this analysis, the paper arrives at the following three conclusion: 1) that we have strong prioritarian reasons for special concern about the vulnerable and socially disadvantaged in reference to pandemic effects, 2) that severity of illness is an important factor in identifying the worse off in priority setting, and that this could potentially imply special priority to the socially disadvantaged (even when needs are equal), and 3) that the maximization rationale of the age-weighted view runs against the other interpretations of the prioritarian idea, and the age-weighted prioritarianism should consequently be rejected as a form of prioritarianism. 

Nielsen, L. (under review). Cost-Effectiveness, Disability Discrimination, and Treatment-Responsive Health

• Abstract: Since standard cost-effectiveness analysis gives reduced value to life-years of disabled people, it is commonly believed that a scheme for healthcare priority-setting based on cost-effectiveness discriminates against the disabled. However, some ethicists argue that cost-effectiveness is not discriminatory against the disabled, or that disability discrimination is justified in cost-effectiveness analysis. While ethicists have in the recent years qualified this debate significantly by offering reasons on both sides, further theoretical development is still needed. In this paper I argue that for purposes of healthcare priority, we need a conception of heath that allows the assessment of health-related quality of life to focus on people’s justified claims for healthcare resources, and I offer a treatment-responsive conception of health as a suggestion. The treatment-responsive conception of health avoids the problems with disability-discrimination that ethicists point to and thereby enables cost-effective prioritisation that does not discriminate against disabled. Moreover, it sits well with our intuitions about the relationship between health, disease, and disability. This contributes to the literature on priority setting in healthcare and medical ethics.
