Human germline editing: science or fiction? (The Daniel W. Foster, M.D., Visiting Lectureship in Medical Ethics)

"Human Germline Editing: Science or Fiction?". Nancy M.P. King, J.D., Professor in the Department of Social Sciences & Health Policy and Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, Wake Forest School of Medicine, and Co-Director, Center for Bioethics, Health & Society and Graduate Program in Bioethics, Wake Forest University.Since DNA was discovered, researchers have sought to treat disorders with genetic interventions. The CRISPR editing tool has made gene editing seem easy, thus highlighting scientific, medical, ethical, and policy problems that arise from the prospect of editing human embryos (and that were heightened by the "CRISPR babies" controversy). Editing human embryos creates inheritable changes that: could be harmful; raise questions about pursuing genetic enhancements rather than treatments; and risk prioritizing scientific progress over societal needs. Gene editing should be used for basic research to learn more about human development and disease. We should be very cautious about clinical applications; yet even calls for a moratorium have proven controversial. Improved transparency, robust discussion, global oversight, and increased education in ethics and genetics for scientists and the public may be best practices for this rapidly developing science, but are they achievable? And can they prevent future harms?UT Southwestern--Program in Ethic
Reflections on race and racism in bioethics: Is there a way forward? (The Daniel W. Foster, M.D., Visiting Lectureship in Medical Ethics)
No full text[Note: The slide presentation is not available from this event.] The Daniel W. Foster, M.D. Visiting Lectureship in Medical Ethics (in Conjunction with Ethics Grand Rounds). Tuesday, October 10, 2017; noon to 1 p.m.; Room D1.602. "Reflections on Race and Racism in Bioethics: Is There a Way Forward"? Patricia A. King, J.D.; Carmack Waterhouse Professor of Law, Medicine, Ethics, and Public Law; Georgetown University Law Center.[Note: The slide presentation is not available from this event.] The concept of race emerged in the United States to explain observable differences among human beings. Physicians, scientists and others used this concept to support beliefs about inherent biological differences between Americans, who trace their ancestry to African slaves, and whites and the "inherent superiority" of whites over blacks. These beliefs provided support for slavery and segregation, continue to reinforce negative stereotypes, and foster implicit bias about blacks and black health down to the present. Nonetheless, the field of bioethics has tended in its deliberations about issues in health care, health science and health policy to ignore the implications of persistent racism embedded in the norms, practices and institutional structures of these fields. What are possible explanations for this failure? Is there a way forward?UT Southwestern--Program in Ethic

Johnson, one of the nation’s leading medical communicators of health care information, has provided commentary on medical problems and answers for viewers since 1975. In addition to commentary on Good Morning America, Johnson provides on-air analysis of medical news for World News Tonight, Nightline and 20/20. He consults with ABC News regardingcoverage of medical news. He is also medical editor for WCVB-TV, Channel 5 in Boston.
Johnson holds joint positions in medicine at Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. He is the founding editor of the Harvard Medical School Health Letter and co-editor of the Harvard Medical School Health Letter Book. He is also coeditor of the book, “Your Good Health,” published by Harvard Press, as well as co-author with former US Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop of the book, “Let’s Talk,” published by Zondervan in 1992.
He originally intended to join the ministry and graduated from the North Park Seminary in 1963. Two years later he decided to enter medicine. Johnson, who is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Augustana College, graduated summa cum laude from Albany Medical College and holds a master’s degree in public health from Harvard University. Johnson served as an assisting minister at the Community Covenant Church in West Peabody, Mass.https://crossworks.holycross.edu/commence_address/1012/thumbnail.jp
Rate constants for the reaction of NO and HO2 with peroxy radicals formed from the reaction of OH, Cl or NO3 with alkenes, dienes and α,β-unsaturated carbonyls
No full textRate constants for the gas-phase reaction of NO and HO2 radicals with 33 peroxy radicals are presented. The peroxy radicals are derived from the addition of either OH, Cl, or NO3 radicals, followed by addition of O2, to a series of alkenes: tetrachloroethene, ethene, 2,3-dimethyl but-2-ene, butadiene, 2,3,4,5-tetramethyl hexa-2,4-diene, 1,1,2,3,4,4-hexachlorobutadiene, but-1-ene-3-one (methyl vinyl ketone) and 2,3-dimethylpen-2-ene-4-one. The rate constants were predicted using a correlation between the singly occupied molecular orbital (SOMO) energy of the peroxy radical and the logarithm of the rate constant for reaction with NO or HO2. A discussion of the accuracy of the method and the trends in the reactivity of the titled peroxy radicals is given. Peroxy radicals derived from halogenated alkenes have larger values of rate constants for reaction with NO relative to reaction with HO2, indicating that they are more likely to react with NO, rather than HO2, in the atmosphere. The reverse is true for peroxy radicals derived from alkylated alkenes
