School teachers, looking for ways of helping students explore issues around COVID? Take a look at this bioethics site! https://t.co/BlSxWg9Yf1

This looks to be important and helpful!!

Important!! Patrick Smith at Duke should be on your list if he isn’t already!

WOW!!

@kennedy_kerrio @SteveJoffe At Bev Hospital Lahey an adult/parent was allowed in the pediatric unit as well as one visitor for those at end of life in hospice. All visitors are evaluated as to risk.

The CEC looked at this topic several years ago, consulting with MA DPH. Hard choices to be made in challenging times!!

[Carol L. Powers, J.D @cpowersjd]

WOW!! Massachusetts law is wildly different.

This is a moving narrative about loss and its profound effects. Well worth the reading!!

Today is always a rough day for my family. I’ll probably delete this later, but for some reason I want to talk about a few things. Seven years ago I was in France for a WHO meeting. I was excited to be speaking and to be with some old friends and to meet some new folks.

[Carol L. Powers, J.D @cpowersjd]

This essay is wonderfully and thoughtfully done - kudos!

Direct and correct commentary. It would appear our societal ethos has shifted - not in a good way!!

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Incredibly powerful, must-watch moment.

Thank you, @esglaude.

Dr. Craig Blinderman's oped in the Hill https://t.co/mebGPqUhPG is urgently important. Thousands are dying of opioid overdoses, while too many patients are suffering for lack of legitimate access to opioids. Blinderman points to a way forward!

⁦@HMSbioethics⁩ Belgium’s euthanasia law extends to children; no required reporting by drs on the practice - concerning!!

[Carol L. Powers, J.D @cpowersjd]

@revdtim So sorry Tim & family!! A hard loss! 😢
