About me

  • Niklas Juth is a associate professor in medical ethics at Karolinska
    institutet.
    Senior lecturer in medical ethics at Karolinska institutet. Currently
    teaching, for instance, at the Medical program (in Clinical medical ethics,
    The ethics of medical research and the theory of medical science, and The
    ethics of pre- and neonatal medicine), at the Program for Health Economy,
    Policy, and Management/ /(Philosophy of science and research ethics), the
    Biomedical and Scilife Programs (The ethics of biomedicine), and doctoral
    students in research ethics.

Research

  • My current main research interests are in ethics and bioethics and the
    intersection between political philosophy and medical ethics, e.g. autonomy
    and justice in health care. My main focus the last couple of years has been
    compulsory care (within both sometic and psychiatric care) and priority
    setting issues (e.g. regarding the principle of need and orphan drugs). I am
    still active in the Stockholm Centre for Health Care Ethics (CHE) project
    “Prioritizing in Health Care: The Reasonableness and Applicability of the
    Principles of Cost-Efficiency, Need, and Responsibility”:
    https://www.priorityproject.se/en [1]. I am also doing research within the
    areas of experimental ethics, end-of-life care, the ethics of screening,
    prenatal diagnosis, and genethics.
