Much of the higher risk for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in African American individuals relates to ancestry-specific variation apolipoprotein L1 gene (
Despite apparent disagreement in the scholarly literature on standards of pediatric decision making, a recognition that similar norms underpin many dominant frameworks motivated June 2022 symposium “Best Interests and Beyond: Standards Decision Making Pediatrics” St Louis, MO. Over course this 3-day symposium, 17 expert scholars (see author list) deliberated question “In context US care, what moral precepts ought to guide parents clinicians medical making for children?” The subsequent...
Solid organ transplantation (SOT) offers people with end-stage disease an increased quality of life, which includes the return fertility and potential for pregnancy. Although number pregnancies has increased, definitive recommendations have been lacking. To address reproductive health in SOT recipients, American Society Transplantation Women’s Health Community Practice held a virtual Controversies Conference subject matter experts gathered to discuss topics contraception, immunosuppression,...
Apolipoprotein L1 (ApoL1) variants G1 and G2 are associated with a higher risk of kidney disease. ApoL1 predominantly seen in individuals sub-Saharan African ancestry. In most transplant centers, potential organ donors being selectively genetically tested for variants. Transplant programs have highly variable testing practices need guidance on essential clinical policy questions.
<h3>Importance</h3> Risk communication and management are essential to the ethical conduct of research, yet addressing risks may be time consuming for investigators institutional review boards reject study designs that seem too risky. This can discourage needed particularly in higher-risk protocols or those enrolling potentially vulnerable individuals, such as with some level suicidality. Improved mechanisms research facilitate much psychiatric research. <h3>Objective</h3> To provide mental...
The language of ethics expertise has become particularly important in bioethics light efforts to establish the value clinical consultation (CEC), specify who is qualified function as a consultant, and characterize how one should evaluate whether or not person so qualified. Supporters skeptics about possibility use ways that reflect competing views what entails. We argue for clarity understanding nature expertise. To be an expert, we argue, expert knowing ought done. Any attempt articulate...

Introduction: Tests exist for ApoL1 genetic variants to determine whether a potential donor’s kidneys are at increased risk of kidney failure. Variants the gene associated with primarily found in people West African ancestry. Given uncertainty about clinical implications test results living donors and recipients lack uniform guidelines testing, transplant centers across United States vary testing practices. Research Questions: (1) What approach do take prospective ancestry? (2)How engage...
Abstract It now seems technically feasible to culture human embryos beyond the “fourteen‐day limit,” which has potential increase scientific understanding of development and perhaps improve infertility treatments. The fourteen‐day limit was adopted as a compromise but subsequently been considered an ethical line. Does it remain relevant in light technological advances permitting embryo maturation it? Should be changed and, if so, how why? What justifications would necessary expand limit,...

In 2006, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommended demonstration projects on uncontrolled donation after cardiac death or rapid organ recovery (ROR). To investigate what public thinks about key ethical and policy questions associated with ROR, 70 African-American, Caucasian Latino community members in St. Louis, MO, participated focus groups completed surveys, before being educated ROR. Before group, most participants believed mistakenly that they could donate organs following an...
