Genuine: Something is genuine when it is real, authentic, and exactly what it claims to be—not fake, counterfeit, or pretending to be something else. For example, genuine leather is actual leather rather than synthetic material, or a genuine apology comes from sincere feeling rather than obligation. The word describes anything that is honestly and truly itself without deception or imitation.
Rational control(as a condition for responsibility): The ability to think through your actions, understand what you're doing, and make conscious choices based on reasoning rather than acting on impulse or accident.
agent(Economics terminology applied to medical ethics): The party in a principal-agent relationship who is instructed to produce the good or service on the principal's behalf — in the medical context, the doctor
collective responsibility(Used to motivate inclusion of non-Kantian frameworks in moral theorizing): A form of responsibility attributed to groups rather than solely to individuals; the passage treats it as requiring non-Kantian or expanded notions of moral responsibility
