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). Her next project resulted in two ethnographic films and a monograph titled\, A Disability of the Soul: An Ethnography of Schizophrenia and Mental Illness in Contemporary Japan (2014). While finishing a book on the intersections of transsexuality and disability politics in postwar Japan\, Nakamura is currently collaborating on research involving the impact of artificial intelligence / machine learning (AI/ML) on disability communities.\nCO-ORGANIZERS\nErik Parens is director of The Hastings Center’s Initiative in Bioethics and the Humanities\, co-editor with Adrienne Asch of Prenatal Testing and Disability Rights\, and author of Shaping Our Selves: Technology\, Flourishing\, and a Habit of Thinking. \nJoel Michael Reynolds is assistant professor of philosophy and disability studies at Georgetown University\, a senior research scholar in the Kennedy Institute of Ethics\, and core faculty in Georgetown’s Disability Studies Program. He is also the founder of The Journal of Philosophy of Disability\, which he edits with Teresa Blankmeyer Burke. \nLiz Bowen is the 2020-2022 Rice Family Postdoctoral Fellow in Bioethics and the Humanities at The Hastings Center. Her scholarly work explores the intersections of disability studies\, the environmental humanities\, bioethics\, and American literature. She is also the author of two poetry collections dealing with disability and chronic illness: Sugarblood (2017) and Compassion Fountain (2021). \nRosemarie Garland-Thomson is a professor emerita of English and bioethics at Emory University and a senior advisor and fellow at The Hastings Center. She is co-editor of About Us: Essays from the Disabilities Series of the New York Times (2019)\, a book based on The New York Times’s pioneering series. \nLearn more about this public event series\, “The Art of Flourishing: Conversations on Disability\,” produced by The Hastings Center and supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities. \nCripercizePainting by Ann Millett-Gallant18×24 in.\, acrylic on canvas2009

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
