SUMMARY:“BINOCULARITY: A Tool for Comprehending Persons in Depth”
DESCRIPTION:Hastings Center senior research scholar Erik Parens will present “BINOCULARITY: A Tool for Comprehending Persons in Depth” at the John Dossetor Health Ethics Centre at the University of Alberta. \nIt is plain that\, to exhibit care for persons\, we need to respect them as persons. I will suggest that\, to show respect\, we should aspire to comprehend them “in depth.” And I will suggest that the metaphor of binocular vision can help us as we seek such in-depth comprehension. \n

SUMMARY:Short Course on Public Deliberation and Gene Editing in the Wild
DESCRIPTION:Hastings Center scholars Michael Gusmano and Karen Maschke present a Short Course on Public Deliberation and Gene Editing in the Wild for attendees of Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association via zoom. \n  \nEmerging technologies for the genetic modification of organisms present unprecedented opportunities to alter wild populations of organisms\, from microbes to mammals\, and consequently change interspecies dynamics and reshape ecosystems. With these opportunities come perplexing governance challenges. Most commentators maintain that decision-making about whether\, when\, and how to use these technologies should include public engagement activities\, through which the public can learn about the science; researchers and their funders can learn about the public’s values; and final decisions can be shaped by a range of inputs. In its strongest form\, the argument for public engagement holds that proceeding with a proposal to modify a wild population requires the public’s authorization. In this course\, we discuss how to draw on interdisciplinary scholarship in bioethics\, political science\, and public administration to teach a class or deliver individual lectures that explore this knot of conceptual\, normative\, and practical problems. We review several key issues and questions. What is gene editing in the wild? What are the ethical and political questions raised by these technologies? When is broad public deliberation about gene editing in the wild necessary? And when it is required\, how should it be done? These questions lead to a suite of further questions about\, for example\, the rationale and goals of deliberation\, the features of these technologies that make public deliberation appropriate or inappropriate\, the criteria by which “stakeholders” and “relevant publics” for these uses might be identified\, how different approaches to public deliberation map onto the challenges posed by the technologies\, how the topic to be deliberated upon should be framed\, and how the outcomes of public deliberation can be meaningfully connected to policy-making.

SUMMARY:Questioning Cure: Disability\, Identity\, and Healing
DESCRIPTION:Should cure be the ultimate aim of health care? Sometimes aiming at cure entails trying to fix disability rather than enabling disabled people to flourish. Sometimes it obscures the goal of healing. And sometimes aiming at cure entails failing to distinguish between disease and difference. In this webinar\, disabled writers and educators Anand Prahlad\, Ann Millett-Gallant\, and Karen Nakamura will discuss how the idea of cure has shaped their own lives and how we can think beyond cure. \nFeatured guests: \n\nAnand Prahlad is a Curators’ Distinguished Professor emeritus in the department of English at the University of Missouri. He is a folklorist\, literary author\, disability activist\, and musician. His books include Reggae Wisdom: Proverbs in Jamaican Music\, a scholarly study; As Good as Mango\, a collection of poetry; and The Secret Life of a Black Aspie\, a disability memoir.\n\n\n\n\nAnn Millett-Gallant is an art historian and disability studies who teaches in the Bachelor of Arts in Liberal and Interdisciplinary Studies program at the University of North Carolina Greensboro. She is the author of Re-Membering\, a memoir about being congenitally physically disabled and experiencing traumatic brain injury\, as well as The Disabled Body in Contemporary Art\, the first scholarly monograph to cross the disciplines of art history and disability studies. Her teaching practices and research analyze representations of disability and its intersections with multiple identities as portrayed in two- and three-dimensional artwork.\n\n\n\n\nKaren Nakamura is a cultural and visual anthropologist at the University of California Berkeley. Her first book was titled Deaf in Japan: Signing and the Politics of Identity (2006).

SUMMARY:Vaccine Access\, Vaccine Hesitancy: Challenges to Herd Immunity
DESCRIPTION:If the United States is to achieve herd immunity\, at least 75-85% of the population will need to be vaccinated\, yet there are many different kinds of barriers to overcome. Some Americans are reluctant or wish to wait\, because they distrust government or the safety of the vaccines or believe in widespread conspiracy theories. Views about the vaccine also differ based on religion and political party affiliation. Research shows that in communities of color and rural areas\, lack of sound vaccine information and places to receive a vaccine are drivers of inequitable distribution. What are the extent and limitations of our ethical obligations to promote broad-based vaccine acceptance and to ensure access to all Americans? And what communication approaches and health policies are likely to be most effective? \nFOR VIDEO AND TRANSCRIPT OF THIS EVENT\, CLICK HERE. \n  \nDr. Rhea Boyd is a pediatrician\, public health advocate\, and scholar who writes and teaches on the relationship between structural racism\, inequity\, and health. In partnership with Kaiser Family Foundation and the Black Coalition Against COVID\, she co-developed THE CONVERSATION: Between Us\, About Us\, a national campaign to provide Black communities credible information about the COVID vaccines. \nDr. Maya Goldenberg is Associate Professor of Philosophy in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Guelph and author of the recently published Vaccine Hesitancy: Public Trust\, Expertise\, and the War on Science (Science\, Values\, and the Public). Her research centers on the philosophy of science and medicine\, with interest in the connection between science and values. Much of her work has investigated epistemological and ethical considerations and concerns regarding the evidence-based movement in biomedicine. More recently\, she turned the epistemically question “how do we know what to believe?” to consideration of science and the publics\, especially the public controversy over vaccines. \nHost: Dr. Mildred Solomon\, President of The Hastings Center. Both a bioethicist and a social scientist\, Dr. Solomon’s research has focused on palliative care\, organ transplantation\, medical professionalism\, and the responsible conduct of research. She serves on policy commissions and advises international non-governmental organizations on a wide range of health and science policy topics. \n  \nOur series\, “Securing Health in a Troubled Time: Equity\, Ethics\, and the Common Good\,” examines the social causes of health inequities and identify policies and practices to achieve healthier lives for all of us. \nThe first in the Securing Health in a Troubled Time series is “Health Equity\, Racism\, and This Moment in Time.” \nThe second in the series is “Public Trust in Science.”

SUMMARY:Sequencing Newborns: A Call for Nuanced Use of Genomic Technologies
DESCRIPTION:Josephine Johnston\, LLB\, MBHL\, Director of Research and Research Scholar\, The Hastings Center \n\nAffordable genome sequencing has led some to suggest that all newborns be sequenced at birth\, setting the stage for a lifetime of medical care and self‐directed preventive actions tailored to each child’s genome. As part of the NSIGHT studies\, funded by NIH\, this suggestion was scrutinized by an Ethics and Policy Advisory Board\, which recommended against population-wide whole genome or whole exome sequencing. Instead\, we recommend a more nuanced approach\, that tailors sequencing to the needs of children\, families\, and society in various care contexts\, from public health screening programs to pediatric care to NICUs. \n\nSeminar on Ethical\, Legal and Social Implications of Genetics
