SUMMARY:Ethics of End-of-Life Care:  Contributions from the Arts and Humanities
DESCRIPTION:Objective\nCare for the dying and their loved ones is a most rewarding but also challenging endeavor. Such care can evoke complex moral questions that often defy standard methods of ethical analysis. In this seminar\, we enter into dialogue with the arts and humanities to gain new insights about the human condition\, find meaning in the final phase of life\, and achieve a truly dignified death. \nApproach\nWhereas internationally renowned experts will introduce the themes\, the core of this seminar will be a sustained discussion among all participants. Conversations will extend from the classroom to cultural excursions in the city of Rome and many shared meals. Participants are encouraged to prepare a short presentation to stimulate still more dialogue. Registration is limited to 20 persons. Combination with the Annual Conference of the Pontifical Academy for Life Immediately following the seminar\, participants can attend the two-day annual conference of the Pontifical Academy for Life (3-4 March 2025). The specific topic of the 2025 meeting has yet to be announced. Attendance of this meeting may also include an opportunity to join in the Academyís private audience with Pope Francis at the Vatican (depending on his health and schedule). \nTeaching Staff\nJos Welie\, MA\, MMedS\, JD\, PhD\, President of the St. AndrÈ International Center for Ethics and Integrity (France) and Professor Emeritus of Medical Humanities (USA) (Seminar Director) Andrea Ciucci\, PhD\, Pontifical Academy for Life (Vatican City) Andrea De Santis\, PhD\, Dean of Philosophy\, Ateneo SantíAnselmo (Italy) Alberto GarcÌa GÛmez\, LLM\, PhD\, UNESCO Chair in Bioethics and Human Rights (Spain/Italy) Henk ten Have\, MD\, PhD\, Professor of Health Care Ethics\, Anuhuac University (Netherlands/Mexico) Willem Lemmens\, PhD\, Antwerp University (Belgium) Therese Lysaught\, PhD\, Professor\, Loyola University Chicago (USA) Joseph Tham\, M.D.\, PhD\, APRA Rome (Italy) & Holy Spirit College (Hong Kong).

SUMMARY:Integrity in the Concept and Determination of Brain Death: Recent Challenges in Medicine\, Law\, and Ethics
DESCRIPTION:This symposium will address concerns posed by the American Academy of Neurology’s issuance of updated 2023 Guidelines after an unsuccessful effort to revise the Uniform Determination of Death Act (UDDA). \nParticipants will a unique opportunity to learn about\, discuss\, and strive to better address several key issues including: \n\nHow/Can we ensure\, with moral certitude\, that patients determined to be dead by neurologic criteria are dead according to the standards of a sound Christian anthropology and the law?\nHow/Can testing protocols for brain death be improved to accurately\, consistently\, and efficiently identify which patients are dead by neurologic criteria and which are not?\nWhat challenges might be encountered and appropriately addressed if implementing more rigorous clinical standards and protocols results in some delay to the process of vital organ recovery?\nWhat ethical measures and resources are required to better uphold key ethical goods including patient dignity\, informed consent\, and respect for conscience?\n\nThe symposium will feature leading scholars on the core clinical\, anthropological\, and ethical issues at stake and will feature plenty of time for dialogue. \nThis symposium shall be conducted to achieve fair representation of distinct positions\, robust dialogue among participants\, and practical results.

SUMMARY:Reasonable Variability or Unethical Inequity: Exploring Ethics of Policy Differences at Hospitals
DESCRIPTION:Hospital policies have a fundamental role in the care of patients\, yet significant variability exists across hospitals in core patient-facing policies. In this Clinical Ethics Conversation\, we will learn from clinical ethics leaders about variations in policy across their institutions (using policies addressing potentially inappropriate/non-beneficial treatment as a case example) and examine ethical arguments that support or oppose such variability. \nFeaturing Kerri Kennedy\, DBe\, RN\, HEC-C\, Lindsay Semler\, DNP\, RN\, CCRN\, HEC-C\, David Sontag JD\, MBE\, HEC-C\, and Kayte Spector-Bagdady JD\, MBE\, HEC-C. Moderated by Jonathan M. Marron\, MD\, MPH\, HEC-C.
