SUMMARY:When the “Gift of Life” Costs More Than Expected: Ethical Considerations for First Person Authorizations of Organ Donation
DESCRIPTION:There has been significant concern surrounding the procedures and conditions for donation after circulatory death (DCD). As organ procurement organizations face increased pressure\, there have been conflicts and concerns over the expectations for how patients who have designated themselves as donors are treated prior to death\, and at the time of the withdrawal of life sustaining treatment. This session will describe the effects and limitations of “first person authorizations” (FPAs) for donation\, and how unresolved questions about the scope of FPA can lead to conflict over how and when life sustaining treatment is withdrawn\, conflict over treatments for living patients designed to improve organ procurement but not the patient’s medical interests\, and confusion about the kinds of information that should be disclosed to patients or their loved ones prior to organ procurement.

SUMMARY:International Association of Catholic Bioethics 12th Biannual Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Wise Decisions: The place of love in AI-informed health care \nIt remains to be seen exactly what AI will be able to facilitate in the area of health care.   However\, it is already clear that its impact is likely to be limited.  Some aspects of the provision of health care\,  and of the decisions made by patients and their caregivers\,  cannot – or should not – be left to AI.  While factual information is a necessary condition of decision making – and AI is good at gathering facts – facts themselves carry only limited meaning : they certainly do not reveal objective values. As the recent COVID-19 pandemic underscored\, a quantitative/statistical focus on “data” about\, for example\, infection rates and their prevention can lead to a failure to pay attention to other important aspects of human health and flourishing. \nTo articulate meaning and value requires a focus on various dimensions of health care\, particularly those that are relational\, which are not amenable to the tools of AI. To understand and nurture relationships between patients and their caregivers\, which are complex and irreducible to quantifiable data\, we need to unpack the “logos” that shapes these relationships. This logos has cognitive elements\, but also affective\, and conative dimensions involves feeling\, empathy\, motivation\, and even love.

SUMMARY:14th International Conference on Ethics Education
DESCRIPTION:The 14th International Conference on Ethics Education is going to take place in the Netherlands! \nJointly organised by the International Association for Ethics Education (IAEE) and the Department of Ethics\, Law and Medical Humanities from AmsterdamUMC \nWith the central theme ‘Shaping the future: educating responsible professionals’\, this conference aims to bring together educators\, researchers\, academics\, (health) professionals and students for mutual learning and debate on the current status quo in the field of ethics education and Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) and its relevance to shape professionals. What is achieved in training and education\, and what steps are needed in the near future in order to help stimulate responsible professionals? What moral competences are professionals expected to develop and what type of knowledge\, skills\, attitude and behaviour can be trained via (formal and informal) education? How do current innovations (e.g. AI) challenge ethical education practices and approaches? \nThe conference will bring forward keynote lectures from experts in the field to share their latest insights and debate the conference theme. There will also be plenary sessions and opportunities to network and further debate these topics. The first day (24th of June 2026) will be dedicated to thematic and interactive pre-conference workshops\, where participants will be invited to enrol in interactive discussions on topics such as the ethical use of AI in health and education\, moral case deliberation or training in RCR (including open science and reproducibility).
