SUMMARY:Reflections on the Idea of Social and Behavioral Genetics
DESCRIPTION:Basic research is ongoing into the genomics of complex human behaviors and social outcomes\, from eating and sexual behaviors to “subjective sense of well-being” and “educational attainment.”  Although the people doing this research may work hard to articulate their benevolent intentions as well as seeking to conduct rigorous\, reproducible\, ethical research\, they do so against the history of pseudoscience\, eugenics\, and scientific racism. In this seminar\, our expert panel will share insights regarding the potential risks and benefits of such research: Will investigations of associations between genetic differences and observed differences in behaviors and social outcomes exacerbate—or help to undermine—genetic determinism? How can behavioral and social genomics research community and the neurodiversity and disability justice movements learn from each other? Can the polygenic scores created by behavioral and social geneticists be of any real use to improve clinical or social science research? To what extent\, if any\, is behavioral and social genetics research relevant to discussions of using CRISPR to enhance moral and cognitive behavior? To explore these questions\, we are delighted to be joined by: \n\n\n\n\nDr Daphne Martschenko (Stanford University Center for Biomedical Ethics)\n\n\n\nDr. Erik Parens (The Hastings Center)\n\n\n\nProf. Kathryn Paige Harden (University of Texas at Austin)\n\n\n\n\n If you are interested in joining\, please send an email to oliver.feeney@uni-tuebingen.de \n\n\n\nModerated by: Dr Oliver Feeney\, Ethics of Genome Editing Research Unit\, Institute of Ethics and History of Medicine\, University of Tübingen\, Germany.

SUMMARY:Should AI Care For Us?
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.

SUMMARY:Exploring Origins and Impacts of Beliefs about Genetic Causation
DESCRIPTION:Genomic research has fueled hopes that genetic findings will lead the way to precisionmedicine. But whether patients seek and use genetic information will depend on howthey understand the link between genetics and health. This conference will addressthe psychological processes involved in seeking explanations and how they apply tounderstanding the causal role of genetics. Speakers will also describe empirical researchon the types of phenomena most readily attributed to genetics by members of thegeneral population\, and the psychosocial impacts of receiving disease-related genomicinformation among people affected by or at risk of disease. \n\n\n\nHastings Center scholars\, Erik Parens and Josephine Johnston\, will be speaking at Columbia University Medical Center’s annual conference\, Center for Research on Ethical\, Legal & Social Implications of Psychiatric\, Neurologic & Behavioral Genetics.

SUMMARY:Reimagining Healthcare Work\, Repairing Healthcare Systems: Lessons from the Front Line
DESCRIPTION:Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic demanded remarkable creativity\, innovation\, and change from clinicians. How can we leverage the insights and lessons learned from working during COVID-19 to transform healthcare work going forward? And how can we create meaningful change in a broken American healthcare system? \n\n\n\nThis webinar featured insights from two studies of healthcare work during the pandemic. Researchers were joined by a health care journalist and a clinical ethicist\, both of whom are clinicians\, for a discussion about the future of healthcare work\, including real-world steps healthcare organizations can take to better support their workers. \n\n\n\nParticipants: \n\n\n\nMara Buchbinder\, Professor and Vice Chair of Social Medicine\, UNC-Chapel Hill \n\n\n\nDhruv Khullar\, Assistant Professor of Medicine and Population Health Sciences\, Weill Cornell Medicine (NYC) and contributing writer on medicine\, health care\, and politics at The New Yorker \n\n\n\nAimee Milliken\, Associate Professor of the Practice\, Connell School of Nursing\, Boston College \n\n\n\nNeelima Navuluri\, Assistant Professor of Medicine and Global Health\, Duke University \n\n\n\nModerator: \n\n\n\nNancy Berlinger\, Senior Research Scholar\, The Hastings Center

SUMMARY:EVENT: Wrestling with Social & Behavioral Genomics
DESCRIPTION:Research on the genetic contributions to human social and behavioral characteristics\, or phenotypes\, including risk-taking\, income\, and educational attainment\, is increasing. And it is both potentially beneficial and deeply controversial\, given the long history of attempts to use claims about genetic differences to advance unjust social policies and ongoing concern about their misuse.  \n\n\n\nWhat are the potential benefits of this line of research? What are the risks? How can it be done responsibly? Should some of this research not be done at all? \n\n\n\nThe consensus report\, The Ethical Implications of Social and Behavioral Genomics\, was announced in a special event on April 24\, 2023. Project leaders Erik Parens and Michelle N. Meyer and several members of the project’s diverse working group* — which includes scholars who conduct social and behavioral genomics research and those who are concerned about it–answered these questions and provided recommendations for a responsible path through this ethically fraught area. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe project was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\, the Russell Sage Foundation\, and the JPB Foundation. Additional support comes from Open Philanthropy and The Gil Omenn and Martha Darling Fund for Trusted and Trustworthy Scientific Innovation\, a Hastings Center fund. \n\n\n\n*The Working Group \n\n\n\nCo-Principal InvestigatorsErik ParensMichelle N.

SUMMARY:Confronting Climate Change in a Perfect Moral Storm
DESCRIPTION:Are ethicists asleep at the wheel in protecting planetary health? Global warming is intertwined with persistent problems of social justice\, systemic racism\, the U.S. history of colonial oppression\, and the dominance of capitalist consumer norms over health and health care. Why are these bioethical injustices? Why are these issues still not a central concern for many? How can ethicists contribute to policy decisions and health and technological innovation to respond to the urgent challenges of climate change and environmental injustice? \n\n\n\nIn this final event in the Bioethics with Bigger Impact series\, Nancy Tuana\, Dupont/Class of 1949 Professor of Philosophy and Women’s\, Gender and Sexuality Studies\, Penn State University\, and Stephen Gardiner\, Professor of Philosophy and Ben Rabinowitz Endowed Professor of the Human Dimensions of the Environment\, University of Washington will sort through these questions with Romy Opperman\, Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow and Assistant Professor-designate\, Dept. of Philosophy\, New School for Social Research. \n\n\n\nCosponsored by The Hastings Center and the University of Cincinnati Center for Public Engagement with Science.
