  • Medical Ethics Unpacked: Euthanasia and Medical Assistance in Dying
    2024/11/25
    In the first episode of Medical Ethics Unpacked, hosts Steve Levine, MD, and Dominic Sisti, PhD, examine the profound ethical and clinical challenges surrounding medically assisted suicide, or medical assistance in dying (MAID), for individuals with severe psychiatric conditions. Dr. Sisti, an associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania, interrogates pivotal questions central to this debate, including whether psychiatric disorders can be deemed terminal and whether individuals with such conditions possess the requisite capacity to make autonomous decisions regarding MAID. Drawing on data from jurisdictions such as Belgium and the Netherlands, he highlights critical concerns, including gender disparities, inconsistent capacity evaluations, and the societal risks of expanding access to psychiatric euthanasia without addressing structural deficiencies, such as inadequate mental health care systems or pervasive social inequities.

    Dr. Levine, a psychiatrist, explores the complex and dynamic nature of capacity assessments, emphasizing the episodic and often treatable trajectory of psychiatric conditions such as major depressive disorder and anorexia nervosa. He reflects on the potential for recovery facilitated by novel treatments, such as ketamine or psychedelics, juxtaposed with the limitations and gaps in current psychiatric care. Together, the hosts deliberate on the ethical implications of mandating exhaustive treatment attempts, including experimental options, before permitting MAID, balanced against the imperative to respect patient autonomy.

    Through a rigorous and nuanced discussion, Drs. Levine and Sisti advocate for the establishment of robust ethical frameworks, equitable practices, and comprehensive capacity evaluations. Their discourse challenges societal and professional norms, encouraging reflection on autonomy, human suffering, and the intrinsic value of life in the context of this ethically fraught issue.

  • New Insight: A Look at Corneal Transplant Alternatives w/ John Sheets, PhD
    2024/09/05
    Corneal blindness has a significant public health impact, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where access to eye care is limited. It can contribute to a high burden of disability, affecting individuals' quality of life and economic productivity, while straining healthcare systems with the need for preventive measures, surgical treatments, and rehabilitation services.

    In the latest episode of New Insight, host Veeral Sheth, MD is joined by John Sheets, PhD, the president, chief executive officer, and co-founder of Pantheon Vision, a pioneering early research-stage organization working to develop bioengineered solutions to eliminate corneal blindness and restore sight to millions.

    As part of its mission, Pantheon is dedicated to reducing reliance on donated corneal tissues to address corneal blindness. Although corneal transplant surgery has long been the gold standard, there remains significant room for improvement in graft acceptance, vision restoration, and long-term outcomes to better combat corneal blindness.
