DESCRIPTION:Ethics\, AI\, and Society \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIncreased attention to the widespread applications of artificial intelligence—and large language models such as ChatGPT in particular—has raised questions about the integration of AI into caregiving relationships. AI will allow at least the appearance of more effective caregiving for aging adults and children by tailoring conversations to an individual’s history and interests. What implications might it have for the meaning of “care” itself? Should AI provide psychotherapy in the midst of a mental health crisis? Watch leading experts Illah R. Nourbakhsh and Shannon Vallor in a conversation with Mercer Gary to kick off a series of explorations of ethical issues in the age of AI.

Yet along with progress comes a host of legal and ethical dilemmas. Watch Nita Farahany and Mildred Solomon consider what our neurological information is worth\, and the implications of making it available to corporations\, work places and government.

DESCRIPTION:SPECIAL REPORT: Creating Chimeric Animals: Seeking Clarity on Ethics and Oversight\n\n\n\nCrossing species boundaries by inserting human cells into (nonhuman) animals for research purposes promises to yield enormous benefits\, including better models of human disease and ultimately sources of tissues and organs suitable for transplantation into humans. \n\n\n\nYet there are ethical questions about this type of research\, ranging from whether the moral status of nonhuman animals is altered by the insertion of human stem cells\, to whether cell donors should be asked for explicit consent to chimeric research\, to whether the nonhuman animals involved are subjected to novel forms of harm. Currently\, many such studies are subject to additional prohibitions and oversight\, although some people content this type of research should not be done at all. \n\n\n\nJosephine Johnston of The Hastings Center and Insoo Hyun of the Boston Museum of Science\, co-editors\, along with others\, of a new report on chimeric research\, discussed the goals and ethics of this work.

The panel will address how the history of scientific racism and eugenics in genetics and genomics may limited the scientific community’s capacity to respond decisively to the misuse and misappropriation of scientific data. \n\n\n\nJoin a lively discussion of social and behavioral genetics and genomics\, its benefits\, limitations and potential for misuse. Panelists will discuss strategies for scientists to combat misinformation\, disinformation and misuse of scientific findings; and answer audience questions.

How should we think about the risks of such research\, including the risks that its results can be weaponized or lead to policy fatalism? How should we think about the potential benefits\, including doing better social science research or improving our understanding of modifiable risk factors that might address social inequities? What steps can scientists\, ethicists\, journal editors\, journalists\, funders and others take to promote the potential benefits and mitigate the risks? The primary aim of our panel is to facilitate a conversation about these questions and more that arise in the context of social and behavioral genomics research. \n\n\n\nPanelist: Benjamin M.

Land use restrictions or local resistance to affordable\, accessible homes stymie efforts to build places that work for people as they age or who have disabilities. Private-market options geared to wealthy adults are not the solution for the typical\, moderate-income older American. How do we build consensus around investing in the “place” in aging in place and recognize affordable\, accessible homes as community assets? \n\n\n\nThe authors of a new report from a research collaboration between The Hastings Center and the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard will explore this question with experts in housing policy and in narrative change. \n\n\n\nThis online-only event is the fourth of a four-part series. \n\n\n\nCo-Sponsor(s): The Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies \n\n\n\nAndrew Clark\, Professor\, School of Health and Society\, University of Salford\, Greater Manchester  \n\n\n\nSteven Lovci\, Vice President\, Capital Projects and Construction\, Phipps Houses\, New York City \n\n\n\nPaul McGarry\, Assistant Director\, Greater Manchester Combined Authority\, Head\, Greater Manchester Ageing Hub \n\n\n\nJennifer Molinsky\, Director\, Housing an Aging Society Program\, Joint Center for Housing Studies\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nModerator: \n\n\n\nNancy Berlinger\, Research Scholar\, The Hastings Center  URL:https://www.thehastingscenter.org/hastings-center-event/the-place-in-aging-in-place-housing-equity-in-late-life/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Virtual Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.thehastingscenter.org/wp-content/uploads/Toward-New-Narratives-Aging-in-Place-webinar-scaled-e1670450246254.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20221118T121500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20221118T131500 DTSTAMP:20260428T232239 CREATED:20221020T122642Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221102T160600Z UID:55551-1668773700-1668777300@www.thehastingscenter.org SUMMARY:Helping Older Americans During the Pandemic DESCRIPTION:This event\, the third in a four-part series\, will explore some of the key findings in Advancing Housing and Health Equity for Older Adults: Pandemic Innovations and Policy Ideas\, a collaboration with The Hastings Center.

Physicians are asking what to do.  Is the ethical choice refusing to comply?  Or is civil disobedience the wrong answer? Learn about the kinds of patient cases most at risk and explore what can be done to ensure sound reproductive health care in the post-Dobbs landscape.  \n\n\n\nMildred Solomon\, president of The Hastings Center\, will moderate a discussion with Deborah Bartz\, MD\, MPH\, Louise King\, MD\, JD and Matthew Wynia\, MD\, MPH\, FACP. There will be time for questions from the audience. \n\n\n\nDeborah Bartz\, MD\, MPH is associate professor in the Department of OBGYN and Reproductive Biology at Harvard Medical School\, where she is the Ryan Program Director\, teaching residents and medical students about complex techniques in reproductive medicine\, medical abortion\, and contraception care in the medically complicated patient.  She also serves patients at Boston Medical Center\, Planned Parenthood and Brigham and Women’s Hospital\, where she is Director of Education for the Connors Center for Women’s Health and Gender Biology. Her varied practice across these diverse settings brings deep experience about how the Dobbs decision is affecting patients and their health care providers. \n\n\n\nLouise King\, MD\, JD is assistant professor at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston\, director of reproductive bioethics at HMS’ Center for Bioethics\, and vice-chair of the Ethics Committee of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. She serves on the board of the American Medical Association’s Journal of Medical Ethics and has written for The Hastings Center Report and other publications on a wide range of ethical issues in reproductive health care. \n\n\n\nMatthew Wynia\, MD\, MPH\, FACP is director of the Center for Bioethics and Humanities at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and was formerly Director of the Institute for Ethics at the American Medical Association.  His research focuses on a wide range of ethical issues in health care\, public policy and professionalism. He is a Hastings Center Fellow.

How can the transplant community ensure equitable access to xenotransplantation clinical trials? \n\n\n\n– What kinds of novel psychosocial experiences will pig xenotransplant recipients encounter post-transplant? What are the optimal ways for the transplant team\, particularly\, transplant social workers and psychologists\, to counsel recipients on their experiences? \n\n\n\n– Should xenotransplant recipients of a failed xenotransplant graft receive priority for a human deceased donor organ? Is there any concern for zoonotic infections with repeat immunosuppression induction? Should any extra priority be given because they contributed to the advancement of scientific knowledge? \n\n\n\nSponsored by the American Society of Transplantation Psychosocial and Ethics Community of Practice. Speakers: Andrew Adams\, MD\, PhD (University of Minnesota)\, Henry Silverman\, MD\, PhD (University of Maryland)\, Brendan Parent\, JD (New York University)\, Moderator: Karen J.
