Self-sufficiency and transplantation in the contemporary polis – An Aristotelian examination of organ transplantation
Dr Dominique Martin is a lecturer and researcher in Health Ethics at the Centre for Health and Society, in the School of Population Health at the University of Melbourne, Australia.
Dominique has a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Philosophy and a PhD in Applied Ethics (The University of Melbourne, 2011). She has also practiced as a medical doctor (MBBS 2003) with experience in emergency medicine.
Dominique’s primary area of research concerns ethical issues relating to the procurement and use of human biological materials, which was the subject of her PhD thesis. She is particularly interested in the subject of national self-sufficiency in organ transplantation, an ethical concept and policy goal on which she has worked in collaboration with the WHO.
She is a member of the Declaration of Istanbul Custodian Group, which is concerned with international organ trafficking and “transplant tourism”.
Dominique’s other research interests include ethical issues pertaining to international medical travel or “medical tourism”; the use of unproven stem cell treatments; end-of-life decision-making; virtue ethics; and the professional duties of health care providers.
During her visit to the Brocher Foundation, she will be working on a paper exploring the concept of national self-sufficiency in organ transplantation in the light of Aristotle’s political and ethical account of self-sufficiency, in collaboration with Dr Noël of the World Health Organization.
