Scholars have offered various critiques of Alberto Giubilini and Francesca Minerva's controversial article, 'After-birth abortion: Why should the baby live?' My book The Ethics of Abortion: Women's Rights, Human Life, and the Question of Justice presents four such critiques. First, Giubilini and Minerva argue from the deeply controversial to the even more controversial. Second, they presuppose a false view of personal identity called body-self dualism. Third, their view cannot secure human equality. And fourth, their account of harm cannot account for harm found in some cases of murder. In the article, 'Pro-life arguments against infanticide and why they are not convincing', J. Räsänen examines and finds wanting these four critiques. This essay responds to Räsänen's defense of infanticide and argues that his responses to the four objections fail.

Objective: When the negative effects and risks associated with modern digital technologies are being discussed, the role of offline factors, including traumatic experiences such as childhood maltreatment, in determining the likelihood of exposure to online harm is rarely taken into account. The present study aimed to fill this gap by conducting a systematic rapid review of literature mapping the existing research evidence on the associations between childhood maltreatment history and vulnerability to online harm.
Method: The rapid review protocol was developed following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis guidelines.
