** New AMA Guidance and Other Developments
------------------------------------------------------------
A Hastings Conversations event last Friday discussed the impact the Dobbs decision is having on the quality of reproductive health care. Among the topics explored was the American Medical Association’s new ethical guidance that states that the AMA will oppose criminal charges against patients and physicians when pregnancy loss results from medically necessary treatment. Hastings Center president Mildred Solomon moderated the discussion with physicians Deborah Bartz (right), Louise King, and Matthew Wynia, a Hastings Center fellow. Watch the event ([link removed]) .

** Help Advance our Mission
Hastings' Enduring Relevance in These Critical Times
------------------------------------------------------------
Since 1969, The Hastings Center has been a leading voice in addressing emerging questions in bioethics, while inviting the broader public to help inform our work. Across these topics, new value conflicts and moral uncertainties continually arise with the emergence of novel technologies, increased focus on ethical issues related to population (in addition to individual) health, and political polarization confronting our society. Philanthropy supports about 45% of our efforts to respond to today’s most pressing ethical challenges. Will you help advance ([link removed]) our mission with a gift this year?

** Communicating Ethical Challenges in Crises
Bioethics with Bigger Impact
------------------------------------------------------------
The chaos that enveloped the Covid-19 response and the loss of trust in experts has laid bare the need for a shift in communicating the moral questions that confront our society. A virtual event last week explored ways of helping the public think through daunting public health issues—communicating not just the what but the why. It featured Hastings Center fellow Tia Powell, of Montefiore Health Systems (right), and Travis Reider, of Johns Hopkins University, with moderator Keisha Ray, of UT Health Houston.

The event was a companion to a special issue of Perspectives in Biology and Medicine. Read selected articles available ahead of print ([link removed]) .
