SUMMARY:Bringing Bioethics to Policymakers: Learning from Experience
DESCRIPTION:How can bioethics researchers get their findings into the hands of those who shape policy? What gaps separate research and policy\, and how can stakeholders navigate them? How can researchers and policymakers better communicate with and relate to each other? This Greenwall Foundation webinar will explore these questions and more as we discuss approaches to increase bioethics’ impact on policymaking. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nNancy Berlinger\, PhD\, Senior Research Scholar·The Hastings Center \n\n\n\nNancy Berlinger is a Senior Research Scholar at The Hastings Center. Her research focuses on ethical\, societal\, and global dimensions of population aging (Bioethics for Aging Societies)\, with special attention to dementia care and to housing equity for older adults. Other interests include ethical challenges in immigrant and community health\, problems of safety and harm in health systems\, and guidance for health practitioners in end-of-life and crisis conditions. Her research collaborations often aim to discover how shared ideas and values (narratives) supportive of equity and flourishing can be integrated into public conversations\, policy development\, and practice under real-world\, non-ideal conditions. She founded and directs The Hastings Center’s Sadler Scholars initiative for doctoral students from underrepresented communities.  \n\n\n\nRobert Cook-Deegan\, MD Professor\, School for the Future of Innovation in Society·Arizona State University \n\n\n\nDr. Robert Cook-Deegan is a professor in the School for the Future of Innovation in Society\, and with the Consortium for Science\, Policy and Outcomes at Arizona State University.

SUMMARY:"What Can AI-Ethics Learn from Gen-Ethics: ELSI Lessons for the Coming Wave" at ELSIcon2024
DESCRIPTION:ELSIcon2024: The 6th ELSI Congress will take place at Columbia University in New York City from June 10-12\, 2024. Hastings Center President Vardit Ravitsky will be a plenary speaker. She will discuss “What Can AI-Ethics Learn from Gen-Ethics: ELSI Lessons for the Coming Wave.” This talk will explore possible lessons from decades of ELSI research in genomics\, for the more recent field of health-AI. What guiding principles did ELSI develop for the wise and responsible use of emerging genomics technologies? Are these relevant for health-AI? What can we learn from the culture of collaboration that developed between ELSI and genomics researchers\, to help develop collaborative approaches with AI-developers and those implementing AI-tools in healthcare and biomedical research? What have we learned about the nature of multi- and inter-disciplinary teamwork? Are ELSI methodologies and frameworks developed for genomics sufficient to address the challenges of health-AI? Or are there unique aspects of AI and data science that require new approaches? What lessons can be extrapolated regarding the importance of data diversity and data stewardship? The talk will map these questions and open them up for discussion with the audience. \n\n\n\nThe 6th ELSI Congress welcomes all with an interest in the ethical\, legal\, and social implications (ELSI) of genomic research. Researchers\, scholars\, practitioners\, trainees\, policymakers\, journalists\, and the general public are invited to share and explore the latest ELSI research at ELSIcon2024.

SUMMARY:Rethinking the Rule against Testing Children for Adult-Onset Conditions: A New Zealand Case Study
DESCRIPTION:Hastings Center senior research scholar Josephine Johnston will present at the 6th annual ELSI conference in New York. \n\n\n\nIn New Zealand\, like many countries\, genetic testing for adult-onset conditions is not performed in children. This rule rests on the “right to an open future’’–the idea that testing children for conditions that will not affect them until adulthood inappropriately breaches their autonomy. It is supported by studies showing that people value having a choice about whether and when to be tested for various genetic conditions. However\, the rule also stems from very specific Western philosophical traditions and laws. Can and should it be altered to reflect more collective understandings of self-determination and benefit\, or indeed of genes themselves? \n\n\n\nThis question has recently been raised by Māori whānau (families) and New Zealand academics in the context of genetic testing for mutations in CDH1 and CTNNA1 genes\, which significantly increase risk of Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer (HDGC). Because HDGC has onset in early adulthood\, testing is currently restricted to those with decision-making capacity\, in line with the Human Genetics Society of Australasia’s 2020 Position Statement on Predictive and Presymptomatic Genetic Testing in Adults and Children. Yet some whānau wish to test their young children\, arguing that the position statement was not developed with input from Māori and does not reflect te ao Māori (Māori worldview) or Māori ontology of time. In this presentation\, with genetic testing for HDGC in New Zealand as our case study\, we consider arguments for moving away from the rule against genetic testing of children for adult-onset conditions in favor of a more familial approach to genetics. \n\n\n\nAuthors: Josephine Johnston\, University of Otago; Joey Mackle\, University of Otago

SUMMARY:World Congress of Bioethics
DESCRIPTION:Hastings Center President Vardit Ravitsky will present at the 17th World Congress of Bioethics (WCB). The 2024 theme is “Religion\, Culture\, and Global Bioethics.” A central aim will be exploring the intricate relationship between these fundamental elements. Although WCB 2024 will address the interplay of religion\, culture\, and bioethics\, we emphasize that everyone is welcome\, including bioethicists engaged in secular\, atheist\, and agnostic approaches to bioethics as well as other topics that fall outside the theme. This inclusive approach aims to facilitate a diverse range of voices and perspectives\, fostering constructive dialogue and critical discourse. Ultimately\, this endeavor seeks to bolster the global contribution and influence of the scholarly field of bioethics.

SUMMARY:Polygenic Embryo Screening: Ethical Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Grand Rounds at Alden March Bioethics Institute\, Albany Medical College\, Albany\, NYHastings Center President Vardit Ravitsky will discuss the ethical implications of polygenic embryo screening. \n\n\n\nRecent advances in genetic screening have made the possibility of choosing our children’s traits ever more possible. Many parents-to-be already screen human embryos derived from in vitro fertilization (IVF) to avoid passing along harmful genetic diseases. However\, with the falling cost of genetic sequencing\, along with increased understanding of the genetic basis of many characteristics\, fertility clinics are starting to offer couples additional technologies. These allow prospective parents to screen embryos before implantation\, to see how likely each one is to develop conditions or traits that depend on many genes\, such as schizophrenia\, Crohn’s disease\, and even educational attainment. Some of these applications are very controversial.  \n\n\n\nNO REGISTRATION REQUIRED. USE THIS LINK: https://albanymed.webex.com/albanymed/j.php?MTID=m2671943f5d1530240e2b371670c39cf6

SUMMARY:"When Law\, Ethics & Medicine Collide: Considering Medical Aid in Dying"
DESCRIPTION:University of Minnesota presents: \n\n\n\nTen states and the District of Columbia currently have statutes on the books or a court decision that authorizes medical aid in dying (often called MAID) for adults who are terminally ill. Many additional states\, including Minnesota\, are debating similar legislation. First legalized in 1997 under the Oregon Death with Dignity Act\, these state statutes authorize doctors to prescribe lethal medication that the patient may choose to take. No U.S. state statute authorizes euthanasia. Evolution of state law continues\, including reexamination of the state residency requirements. In 2016\, Canada authorized both provision of a lethal prescription and euthanasia. Starting in 2027\, Canada plans to enlarge eligibility to patients whose only underlying condition is a mental illness. Canada has faced significant pushback from human rights advocates and disability rights organizations\, suggesting the nation’s legal framework lacks the necessary oversight and safeguards to protect vulnerable populations. Our three panelists are experts on the law\, ethics\, and clinical realities of medical aid in dying\, in both the U.S. and Canada. They bring different perspectives and disciplines to this important debate. This presentation is free and open to the public.Audience members will be able to ask questions of multidisciplinary experts: \n\n\n\nThaddeus Mason Pope\, JD\, PhD\, HEC-CProfessor of LawDirector of the Health Law InstituteMitchell Hamline School of LawRecent Publications:Top Ten New and Needed Expansions of U.S. Medical Aid in Dying Laws\, American Journal of BioethicsMedical Aid in Dying: Key Variations Among U.S. Laws\, Journal of Health and Life Sciences Law \n\n\n\nK.

SUMMARY:Artificial Intelligence for Safer Care: Opportunities and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Hastings Center CEO Vardit Ravitsky will participate in The 2024 Bennathan Patient Safety Lecture. \n\n\n\nThe application of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is expanding exponentially and is poised to make substantive and disruptive changes to the healthcare landscape. There is a growing body of evidence demonstrating the positive impact that AI is having on healthcare delivery (e.g.\, reducing burden on doctors and nurses\, aiding clinical decision support\, and lessening human resources challenges). Simultaneously\, the application of AI “at the bedside” raises important concerns and questions among patients\, their families\, and clinicians alike\, including: \n\n\n\n\nthe applicability/efficacy of AI in the context of complex medical decision-making;\n\n\n\nbio-ethical concerns associated with AI (e.g.\, data security\, autonomy\, accountability\, privacy);\n\n\n\nAI’s influence on health equity (e.g.\, potential for contributing to bias); and\n\n\n\npatients’ perceptions of its use in their care (e.g.\, trust\, transparency).\n\n\n\n\nThe 2024 Bennathan Patient Safety Lecture will serve as an interdisciplinary forum to address these issues.
