Using prenatal tests to prevent the birth of babies with disabilities seems be self-evidently good many people. Even if testing will not help bring a healthy baby term this time, it gives prospective parents chance try again conceive. To others, however, looks rather different. If one thinks about history our society's treatment people disabilities, is hard see why identified disability rights movement might regard such as dangerous. For members movement, living disabling traits need...
The Hastings Center, a bioethics research institute, is holding series of 5 workshops to examine the controversies surrounding use medication treat emotional and behavioral disturbances in children. These bring together clinicians, researchers, scholars, advocates with diverse perspectives from fields. Our first commentary CAPMH, which grew out our workshop, explained method explored general. This commentary, grows second explains why informed people can disagree about ADHD diagnosis...
The ongoing 'enhancement' debate pits critics of new self-shaping technologies against enthusiasts. One important thread that concerns medicalization, the process whereby 'non-medical' problems become framed as 'medical' problems. In this paper I consider charge which often level at forms technological self-shaping, and explain how can illuminate--and obfuscate. Then, more briefly, examine pharmacological Calvinism, enthusiasts, in their support critics. And suggest charge, too, illuminate...
Abstract In this consensus report by a diverse group of academics who conduct and/or are concerned about social and behavioral genomics (SBG) research, the authors recount often‐ugly history scientific attempts to understand genetic contributions human behaviors outcomes. They then describe what current science—including genomewide association studies polygenic indexes—can cannot tell us, as well its risks potential benefits. conclude with discussion responsible behavior in context SBG...
The differences between critics and proponents of enhancement technologies are easily overblown. Both sides this debate share the moral ideal being "authentic" to oneself. They differ in how they prefer understand authenticity, but even difference is not as stark it sometimes seems.
This commentary grows out of an interdisciplinary workshop focused on controversies surrounding the diagnosis and treatment bipolar disorder (BP) in children. Although debate about occurrence frequency BP children is more than 50 years old, it increased mid 1990s when researchers adapted DSM account symptoms to diagnose We offer a brief history from 90s through present, ending with current efforts distinguish between small number whose behaviors closely fit criteria for BP, significantly...
Genomic research has the capacity to generate a wide array of findings that go beyond goals study-usually referred as "incidental findings."The evolving consensus researchers, participants, and expert panels is at least some incidental results should be made available participants.However, there are number challenges discussing these issues with participants ascertaining their preferences, including complexity magnitude relevant information.Believing usual models informed consent not likely...
Abstract Many scientists and doctors hope that affordable genome sequencing will lead to more personalized medical care improve public health in ways benefit children, families, society broadly. One particular is all newborns could be sequenced at birth, thereby setting the stage for a lifetime of self‐directed preventive actions tailored each child's genome. Indeed, commentators often suggest universal inevitable. Such optimism can come with presumption discussing potential limits, cost,...
At a time when medical technologies make it ever easier to enhance our minds and bodies, debate has arisen about whether such efforts promote process of normalization, which makes harder tolerate the natural anatomical differences among us. The becomes especially complicated addresses surgical alteration, or shaping, children. This volume explores ethical social issues raised by recent proliferation surgeries designed children born with physical look more normal. Using three cases-surgeries...
The healthcare workforce in the United States does not provide same standard of care for people with disabilities as nondisabled people. Many academic medical institutions do routinely offer disability-conscious training, and many clinicians educators feel ill-equipped to incorporate anti-ableist learning goals into their curricula. Drawing on a critical review literature interviews educators, representatives professional organizations, disability advocates, this article presents promising...
