RogueBioethics

A take no prisoners approach to bioethics consulting. Because taking prisoners would be unethical. Tweets by Kelly Hills (KH) & Nicholas Evans (NE).

The cat is out of the bag! Rogue Bioethics is a boutique bioethics consulting firm established by @rocza & @neva9257 after one too many people said "I wish I could hire you..."

Well. Now you can. 🙂 -KH

‘How to handle a pandemic is not, and should not be, a matter that is up to individuals…Because when it comes down to it, these are not the sorts of individual ethical choices we should have to make.’ - ⁦@rocza⁩ of ⁦@RogueBioethics⁩ https://t.co/Nkzsm9TrEO

Available to preorder, @neva9257’s new book tracks neuroscience innovations in national security, especially law enforcement, intelligence collection, & armed conflict, & looks at ethical questions & policy about how we can, & should, use these innovations.https://t.co/ReahIqE7RE

Good question. I’ve seen very little engagement from media—or bioethicists. This should concern everyone. #bioethics -KH

Woke up this morning still mad and wondering why this hasn’t made the national news yet? Asking students at two HBCUs to sign up for vaccine trials under university letterhead.

@kellyfolkers Meanwhile, I’m surprised to hear they’re even tracking at most colleges. (Gonna go out on a limb and guess it’s not actually the colleges doing testing and tracking in most cases, which is problematic.) -KH

It was really fun to listen to this talk from the other room…but I am sad we weren’t able to be there. I miss Germany! (I need more Bautzen mustard. 😂) -KH

[SHIFT Automotive @SHIFT_Mobility]

@neva9257, assistent professor @UMassLowell and co-founder of @roguebioethics is talking about ethics of testing autonomous vehicles:
"How much risk should we expose to public to when testing vehicles from which they may not directly benefit?"

@Ysayn3 @Paula56483948 @RobertP69921547 @jkwillettmd And sometimes people are just abusives asses who should have assault charges brought against them.

I think we can trust Dr Willett knows whether or not the patient was in distress or just abusive, and we SHOULD support her, not follow the cop in shaming her. -KH

This is really interesting, and if we see this trend play out in other countries (and we should, so long as circumstances remain similar), it ought to lead to a reckoning on how influenza outbreaks are managed. (Note: I said OUGHT. I know the realities…) -KH

[Queensland Health @qldhealth]

Nice work, #Queensland! Because of your great work in following good hygiene practices, socially distancing and getting the #flu shot, flu numbers this year are significantly lower than what they have been in the last five flu seasons and are 84% lower than this time last year!

"We often assume our friends are like us, that “what I think is risky is what they think is risky, and what they think is common sense is what I think is common sense. It just doesn’t work like that."" -KH, quoting KH 😉

When you still don’t know what you’re talking about, but can’t be arsed to put down the shovel you’re digging that hole with. -KH

3) some argue compassionate use is only for end of life cancer care. But we don’t just have 1 case w/ imminent death—we have thousands. 1200-1400 per day dying in US alone. Expanding P3 trial enrollment in hotspot areas could have a huge impact now even if 50/50 randomization.

[Dr. Rebecca Kreitzer @rebeccakreitzer]

We shouldn’t be only thinking of students and faculty when it comes to opening universities. Housekeepers, janitors, food service and tons of other staff are being put in an impossibly hard situation. https://t.co/utPX7fJ6Xf

And if you pop on over to Nick's personal twitter account, @neva9257, you can read his own words about his first foray into the philosophy of disability and why it's so important to him-us, really. -KH

Nick has a new paper out, along with @joelmreynolds and Kaylee Johnson, which highlights "some problems for accounts of #disability and enhancement that have not been sufficiently addressed in the literature."-KH #bioethics Read it here: https://t.co/q4rtdEejyv
