Care ethics

Care ethics emerged in the 1980s as a challenge to individualism, arguing that people are interdependent beings and reaching a good life can only happen if there is a strong base of caring relationships. The theory also moves away from abstractions and universals, turning instead to the daily contextual experiences of care that keep people in a society alive and well: cooking, cleaning, teaching, transporting, resting, and much more. Since care work is disproportionately done by women and people of colour, care ethics seeks knowledge from voices that have a history of being marginalized in philosophy.

Ethics in design: Social care robots

Social care robots carry the promise of constant accompaniment of the daily needs of people, while reducing the costs of human supervision. Potential areas of application include care of the vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and people with special needs, in hospital care or in education. However, some are concerned that replacing human caregivers with robots runs the risk of oversimplifying human relationships and reducing the altruism and empathy. This exercise deals with the question of to how to design robots that promote the values of care and sociality.

Changing Roles in Medical Care: Haptic Surgical Robots

Training with haptic robots may reduce mistakes by allowing doctors to have more practice before they work on human beings. However, they do not provide training in interaction, patient care or familiarity with living and embodied subjects, though perhaps it is unclear how important this is in current medical training. Haptic robots are also more expensive for more highly sensitive technology, and this may or may not deliver on investment. This case allows students to consider how much virtual training will alter the experience of a surgical education and what the pros and cons of these new technologies may include
