How do we ensure that scientific innovation leads to safe, equitable care? In the discovery and development of cutting-edge medical treatments, what is the right balance of human clinical insight and a transformative technology like A.I.? Where do best practices and politics meet in the structural reform of the healthcare system? What is the connection between the health of our communities and the health of our democracy? Ezekiel Emanuel and Tony Coles, friends and former classmates who are now prominent leaders in bioethics, public policy, and biotech, come to field to discuss some of the most urgent public-health issues facing us today. Their conversation is moderated by bioethicist Vardit Ravitsky, President and CEO of the Hastings Center—a nonpartisan research institute that strives “to promote collaborative exchanges that foster an inclusive, intellectually rich, and well-informed discourse, and for these exchanges to help patients and families, healthcare systems, the scientific community, and society at large.”
