  Fertility companies are profiting off of the anxiety of educated women. Firstly, the fertility industry has downplayed the risks associated with egg retrieval, the drugs that are used to hyperstimulate our ovaries, and the transvaginal aspiration needed to retrieve our eggs.123 Secondly, the statistical chance of freezing eggs, fertilizing them in the future, and then having a successful implantation remain relatively low.4

  Pursuing IVM production over traditional methods of meat production entails less human-animal contact. In this way, IVM production could help mitigate the spread of zoonoses to humans, and the sterile laboratory environment where IVM is produced should also help to mitigate food-borne illness.6 Moreover, the use of antibiotics in livestock has been identified as a potential source of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and the introduction of IVM might diminish the evolution of these strains of bacteria.

  Refugee populations expose countries to a host of communicable and non- communicable diseases, and it is therefore in the national best interest to address the health requirements of a large refugee population to prevent the spread of disease. Such a bold pronouncement is more palatable under the Canadian healthcare system, where all Canadians are guaranteed healthcare (as determined at the provincial level); making the extension of healthcare to a refugee population, while presenting questions of cost and burden, is therefore logistically less challenging.3 By affording Syrian refugees a basic level of healthcare, host countries are also safeguarding the health and security of their citizenry.

  The ‘medical brain drain’ refers to the mass movement of health care workers from low and middle-income countries (LMICs) to high-income countries, resulting in gross shortages of health care workers in LMICs.1 Strong notions of medical workers’ duty-to-stay in their home country and of equal rights to the life and health of citizens in source countries are important arguments in emphasizing the unethicality of the medical brain drain. The migration of medical workers is part of the current global-health workforce crisis characterized by the severe shortage of health care workers in countries suffering from high burdens of disease.5 The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that over 4.3 million health care workers are needed to effectively combat HIV/AIDs and other diseases, reduce child mortality and improve maternal health.3, 6-7 The WHO’s estimate only accounts for shortages of health care workers in 57 countries experiencing “critical shortages,” and does not account for countries experiencing shortages in the capacity to provide basic health services (see Figure 1).5-6,8 36 of the 57 countries are in Africa, a continent experiencing 25% of the global burden of disease yet possessing far less of a capacity to provide care to its inhabitants (see Table 1).6

  The Baby Gammy scandal, along with other media exposes of surrogacy scandals in Thailand resulted in Thailand changing its law.7 As of July 30th 2015, Thailand will only permit “Thai heterosexual couples married for more than three years” to procure a surrogate.8 Those who violate the new law may be subject to “10 years in prison and a fine of up to 200,000 baht ($6,200).”9 Notably, the new law also grants intended parents full parental rights of the child when the child is born. Intended parents would not contract with surrogates that they believe would not allow them to be the legal parents of the child created.

  If Jesuit universities wish to achieve their ideals and combat systemic disadvantages women of color and low socioeconomic status face in both higher education and the job market, they must provide resources like birth control and birth control education so that these women can reap the value of their education and better control their futures. Women, who university contraception policy disproportionately affects, generally share positive attitudes about contraception.

  COVID-19 as a Call to Responsibility for the Vulnerable Sarah Becker Keywords: nursing homes, care for the elerly, old age, bioethics INTRODUCTION The high COVID-19 death rate among elderly individuals living in nursing homes has been attributed to overworked staff, poor infection control, limited resources, and the transfer of infected individuals into long- term care facilities. CONCLUSION The COVID-19 tragedy sweeping through nursing homes not only requires the prompt action of public health officials, but also demands that we as a society open our eyes to a hidden, underlying tragedy: these inequities that plague our approach to caring for the vulnerable lead us to treat the elderly with mediocrity and neglect rather than integrity and good medicine.

Studies suggest that those with prescription access cut off are twice as likely to turn to heroin.6 Some die by overdose or suicide.7 To be fair, the current regulations do exhibit some regard for privacy.

This obfuscation of the social construction of racial categories matters because such misunderstandings of the origins of race as biological could mean never addressing racial health disparities via the broader social subjugation that produces them.

  6 (2020) 2 Different societies and experts have been making conflicting recommendations, with some advising to err on the side of caution and ensure that all health care providers in the room caring for patients with COVID-19 wear higher level PPE, including N95 masks.2 Other societies and organizations, more concerned about equipment shortages advocate against liberal PPE use, citing insufficient evidence to make the same recommendation.3 These dichotomous decisions reflect variation in attitudes toward both risk and resource allocation. We cannot simply skip this step because the risks of exposure to health care providers is significant, and if we have to put the woman to sleep under general anesthesia, placing a breathing tube in the patient’s throat is an aerosolizing procedure.

  While a maximizing principle may be ethically imperative in such circumstances, relying exclusively on consequentialist reasoning may produce unforeseen harms and moral failure if left unchecked by other ethical frameworks that maintain the dignity of human life, the equitable distribution of resources, and the autonomy of each patient.1 Although utilitarianism is a useful ethical principle to employ when scarce life-sustaining resources must be responsibly allocated, it must be buttressed by the principles of deontology and autonomy to ensure proportionate, equitable decision making. ____________________________________________________________ DALE, UTILITARIANISM IN CRISIS, VOICES IN BIOETHICS, VOL. Moral good in the utilitarian framework is entirely contingent on whether the outcome of an action was maximally beneficial.3 To quantitatively conduct a utilitarian calculus, human lives must be considered homogenous and interchangeable, which contravenes Kant’s “categorical imperative.”

By definition, prison requires the loss of liberty, and unlike in a doctor-patient context, inmates realize that seeking the help of corrections officers will elicit further retribution by fellow inmates.

  Hindsight is 20/20: Lessons from the COVID–19 Pandemic and the Need for Stronger, Ethical Disease Surveillance James Ninia* Keywords: disease surveillance, global ethics, bioethics, World Health Organization INTRODUCTION Amid the COVID–19 pandemic, it is disturbing to read that, in 2016, a United Nations report assessed the ability of the international community to respond to communicable diseases as “woefully insufficient.”1 Reporting can be compromised by both the mixed quality of disease surveillance mechanisms within the country of origin, as was the case during the West African Ebola crisis, or a government’s decision to treat information about new disease outbreaks to be a “state secret,” as some have alleged was the case with China’s initial handling of COVID–19 compromise reporting.6 To help overcome the deficiencies of current disease surveillance mechanisms, the UN panel recommended that countries set up a “One Health” surveillance system, meaning integrating veterinary health data into disease surveillance programs.7 This makes sense given that the COVID–19 pandemic is generally believed to have originated from animal hosts.8

  CONCLUSION Obtaining more concrete and useful data than passenger responses – which are likely to be colored by various factors – could help determine whether a passenger is carrying the Ebola virus and showing Ebola-like symptoms, carrying the virus but not presenting with symptoms, not infected with Ebola but appearing to be sick and febrile, or neither infected nor unwell (i.e., true positives, false negatives, false positives, and true negatives).3 Until we raise our standards for rapidly determining whether or not passengers are suffering from the Ebola disease or have recently been infected with the Ebola virus, certain personal liberties may have be relinquished. Doing so will help contain the pathogen – before passengers present with symptoms – and prevent its spread, all while raising awareness of the pathology and stage of illness in the carrier and/or already ill passenger.

The CDC published these guideline to increase uptake in screening, and because the method of only offering screening to at-risk populations was not practical, nor was it effective.3 The problems surrounding HIV testing stem from the early association and stigmatization of the virus with gay sexual activities, intravenous drug users, and immigrant populations.

  The discussion around end-of-life issues largely centers on the right of the patient to choose (to refuse life sustaining treatment, or, in some cases, to end his or her life through physician assisted suicide or euthanasia where it has been legalized) or to preserve life through invasive treatment. The British Medical Journal (BMJ) recently argued for the legalization of assisted suicide because the ability of a patient to choice is paramount; the editors stated that this was “a matter for Parliament, not doctors to decide.”

  A recent storyline in Showtime’s Shameless portrays a lucrative breast milk sweatshop that operates in the attic of a fictional Chicago bar, and online community forums entice stay-at-home moms to “turn their extra milk into extra cash” at up to $23,000 per year.6 Indeed, the digital age has made breast milk more accessible; however, online sales are unregulated and do not necessarily screen milk for contamination or tampering, which is often unbeknownst to buyers.7 In fact, recent studies have uncovered dangerous levels of salmonella, staph, and strep in unscreened breast milk that was sold in several leading online marketplaces, as well as instances of intentional tampering—including the addition of illicit drugs, cow’s milk, or water. In recent months, a controversy surrounding the commodification of breast milk has resurfaced, indicating that the currently uncontrolled market may need regulation.1 In autumn 2014, a corporation called Medolac Laboratories sought to purchase breast milk from low-income African American mothers in Detroit.

summary:
  My patient was unrepresented – meaning she lacked the capacity to make her own medical decisions, had not previously expressed wishes about treatment, and did not have a decision-making surrogate.1 The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the impact of structural inequities and social determinants on health outcomes.2 These disparities become especially significant among unrepresented patients, who are more likely to be people of color, homeless, socially isolated elderly, or those afflicted with mental illness. As a result, unrepresented patients are particularly vulnerable which raises numerous ethical considerations for clinicians and healthcare systems.

  Semantic problems and the downplayed role of mitochondrial DNA Because mitochondrial DNA donors donate an egg, they must undergo pre-donation screening and navigate the complicated donation and post-donation process. Mutations in this DNA can lead to a variety of diseases, some of which result in poor growth, fatigue, and other serious symptoms.2 In February 2016, the United Kingdom became the first country to legalize a technique to replace mutated mitochondrial DNA with unmutated DNA via mitochondrial DNA donors.

  Data collected from these executions is touted as “contributing greatly to the research on subjects like the dying process of the criminal, the physiological changes before and after the injection into a healthy person, the residual tox in in different organs after the injection of the toxin, psychological changes of a person facing death, [and] organ transplant after the injection,” according to a Liaoshen Evening News article.1 According to David Matas, a Canadian human rights lawyer, the shift from gunshot execution of prisoners to injection of prisoners is a deliberate effort to paralyze and remove the organs while the body is still animate. In contrast, the Islamic Republic of Iran allows paid kidney donations but strictly regulates the allocation of organs to non-residents, thereby restricting the international organ trade.4 Transplant tourists—those who travel out of their home country to secure organ transplants abroad—should consider that China has yet to develop a system for recovering organs from those who die in hospitals and voluntarily donate their organs, as is international practice; no regional or national system exists for obtaining consent to donate organs pre-mortem from the deceased, or post-mortem from the relatives.2

  Today’s emphasis on avoiding undue inducement may actually have the unintended consequence of allowing corporate sponsors of human research to undercompensate research participants. An undue inducement occurs when “the offered good leads to poor judgment which makes us take unnecessary, unreasonable, and excessive risk of harm, whether physical harm or the harm of violating important values”.3 Many have argued that the rationale for undue inducement is paternalistic, and that restricting the range of options for research participants places unreasonable limits on their freedom.4 As reported in a recent Wall Street Journal article, scientists from the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research are considering whether to go forward with research that involves infecting healthy people with dengue fever.5 Although volunteers will be paid, ethics committees will weigh “what would be reasonable and what would be considered coercive”.5

  A deontological argument for voting concludes that accepting the duty of democratic participation is important because it would be immoral to abstain, yet expect others to uphold the democracy.8 To this end, American democracy has a history of deontological efforts to instill the duty of voting, from nonpartisan voter engagement campaigns to lobbying efforts for compulsory voting.9 Defining voting as a civic duty may also solve the rational choice conundrum that questions why people vote believing their vote may be insignificant.10 During the COVID-19 pandemic, public health efforts have sought to instill a duty to halt its spread through directives to stay home and avoid contact with others.11 This competing deontology may in some cases be mutually exclusive with that of democratic duties, and alternative frameworks can provide decisional clarity.

Instead of fitting appointment times to the physician’s schedule, DPC patients have the additional freedom to choose visits convenient to them and aligned with the urgency of their medical issues.

  This resistance can then be transferred to the humans who consume it, conferring resistance upon otherwise benign bacteria in their digestive systems.26 Resistant bacteria and genes contained in animal waste can also enter the environment as pollutants, settling in the ground, air, and water systems.27 This further increases the transmissibility of antibiotic resistance from animals to humans and, ultimately, from human to human when a person acquires an antibiotic resistant infection from food and/or the environment and passes it along to others.28 Another unintended adverse consequence of antibiotic use in animals is that foods like meat, milk, and eggs often contain antibiotic residues.29 Since up to 90 percent of antibiotics are excreted through an animal’s waste, the drugs may also pollute the ground and groundwater.30 Unnecessarily prolonged exposure to antibiotics increases the risk of acquiring bacterial resistance and/or an antibiotic resistant infection. The need for antibiotic use for disease prevention arises when animals’ living quarters are cramped and prone to disease.20 Low concentrations of antibiotics have routinely been observed in the gastrointestinal tracts of livestock.21 The presence of sub-therapeutic levels of these drugs fosters the growth of resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes in the animals’ guts.22

Many Native Americans, lacking immunity to European-borne pathogens, succumbed to diseases.16 Between 1781 and 1782, the smallpox mortality rate in the Native American population ranged from 50 percent to 90 percent.17 Later, during the Spanish Flu epidemic in 1918 and 1919, Native Americans had mortality rates four times higher than those of the general population, many of whom lived in poverty.18 During the 1860s, Navajo people were extracted and placed in captivity by the US for several years before returning to their homelands, entering into treaties with the US Government through duress and false promises.19 Eventually, the settlers seized and established property rights from Native Americans through genocide, forced removal, and confinement on reservations supported by the US government.20 Testifying before the House Energy and Commerce Committee Hearing on July 8, 2020, Jonathan Nez, President of the Navajo Nation, attributed the high per capita COVID-19 infection rate to the federal government’s breach of responsibility arising from treaties.21

  CONCLUSION Currently, most universities and IRBs have guidelines for research involving student subjects and there are various federal and state regulations protecting research subjects.9,Yet students remain susceptible to a host of ethical issues, including undue influence, lack of justice, and the sense they would be penalized for opting out. Additionally, critics may contend that research involving student subjects rarely poses major risks that call beneficence into question.

  In addition to past patient research, institutions use both public and private resources to train the physicians who treat patient X and to build hospitals where patient X seeks treatment While the argument I promote is likely not strong enough to compel participation in risky clinical trials, and it does not negate a moral right to refuse, it promotes participation in scientific research as a moral good, and sometimes, an obligation. I suggest that modified informed consent and the introduction of data misuse liability could improve accountability to the patient while still allowing societal health benefits associated with data sharing for research and education.

  Although the transition from contingency standards to crisis standards is defined by the inability to provide functionally equivalent care, the difference in practice may merely be a distinction between visible, immediate sacrifices to patient well-being during crises and less-obvious, long-term decrements in community health due to protracted contingency care alterations. To mitigate these ethical issues, I offer recommendations for reimagining resource allocation during contingency standards of care.
