The debate on euthanasia seems to have flared up again in Denmark. Both sides talk about a "dignified death."
Whatever your stance, this hospital priests piece on what «a dignified death» means is worth a read (translate it from Danish) #icu #MedMastodon #death #dying #criticalcare #ethics #medicalethics

”Taking a strictly medical approach was problematic, the judge said.

It would solve the medical crisis but was likely to create a significant disturbance to his mental wellbeing.

The judge said the evidence showed the man attached great importance to being mobile and went up and down the hospital corridor 20 to 30 times a day on a zimmer frame.

If he came out of surgery to discover his leg was gone, there would be appalling consequences for him.”

As a further test of the refinement of AI ethics, I asked ChatGPT to compare sacrificing one person to save five in a sinking life raft, to a medical triage situation.

Question:

Scenario I) One person is selected with an MCDA process to be thrown overboard in a life raft, to save five other people.

Scenario II) There is only one surgeon. It would take him an hour to save the life of one person with extensive injuries. There are five other people who need 10 minute operations. According to the principles of triage, the surgeon must operate to save five lives.

Please explain how these scenarios are different?

ChatGPT:

In Scenario I, a decision is made to actively sacrifice one person in order to save the lives of the other five people. This is a decision based on the principle of minimizing harm, where the harm of sacrificing one person is considered to be outweighed by the benefit of saving five people. The selection process may also involve considerations of justice and beneficence, as well as minimizing harm.

In Scenario II, the situation is one where there is limited resources (in this case, the time and attention of the surgeon) and multiple patients in need. The ethical principle of triage is applied in this scenario to allocate resources in the most effective way possible, with the goal of saving as many lives as possible. In this case, the decision to prioritize the five patients with less severe injuries is based on the idea that doing so will lead to the greatest overall benefit to the greatest number of people.

While both scenarios involve difficult decisions about resource allocation and saving lives, they differ in their ethical considerations. In Scenario I, the decision to sacrifice one person is an active decision based on minimizing harm, while in Scenario II, the decision to prioritize certain patients over others is based on triage principles that aim to maximize overall benefit. Additionally, in Scenario II, the duty of the surgeon to provide care to all patients may also be a relevant ethical consideration, while in Scenario I, the selection process may involve additional considerations of justice and beneficence.

Last night, my 14yo and I watched #StarTrek #Voyager S5 E8 “Nothing Human,” which dealt with #MedicalEthics and experimentation on living subjects.

Today, I told him about the US’s #Tuskegee & #Guatemala Syphilis “studies.”

Why did the writers—who reference the ‘57 Chevy as Tom Paris’ favorite car—not mention these experiments in the episode?

#ST fans need to know that we have been the Cardassians, too.

That said, I wish #RobertPicardo was on Mastodon!

What about folks who can't be organ donors?

Like me.

I've been HIV+ undetectable and healthier than most of my HIV- contemporaries.
Yet I can't even donate blood let alone an organ.

Should people like me be prohibited from receiving an organ?
Or, should people like me be allowed to get an organ, BUT only after other "uncontaminated" people get prioritized first?
What might those priorities be?
Who decides?
Thoughts?

I have #COVID and am isolating at home. My #doctor will not see me or his bureaucracy will not. They dumped me as a patient for not going to the doctor during the pandemic. I can’t get local #urgentcare either. The practice was has a giant crowded facility 30 mins away where all their dumped patients sit for hours infecting each other. I can see a #telehealth thru insurance but they can’t prescribe. Is this #malpractice or #abandonment or just sheer lack of #medicalethics #medicine #doctor

Testing in animals:

The beginning of something good, I hope:

“FDA no longer needs to require animal tests before human drug trials”

The Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) has issued a new policy on #circumcision .

It is a big step backward from its 2012 policy (www.circumstitions.com/RACP.html), deleting a whole section on foreskin functions, and greatly watering down its section on ethics, in favour of "parental choice".

I have annotated the policy and uploaded it to

My New Year's resolution (offered a day early) is to find a doctor who thinks outside the box and who is willing to listen to ALL my symptoms and evaluate them along with the physical signs in hopes of coming up with a diagnosis. Having worked in the medical field for over 20 years it is becoming increasingly frustrating to have doctors attribute everything to age, weight and level of exercise; not necessarily in that order.
