Does Bioethics Pay Sufficient Attention to Issues Related to Chronic Disease?

As a bioethicist who focuses on chronic & noncommunicable disease, I am totally unsurprised to see that the answer to the ? below is "absolutely not."

I mean, the disease footprint in the US, where I live & work, is overwhelmingly chronic. #Bioethics #PaperSky #AcademicSky #PHEthx #PublicHealthEthx

He ‘found his place in the world’ through football. But CTE would lead to 15 years of suffering Greg Newman found love and purpose in football. It would ultimately be part of what ended his life.

He wished he would have played soccer. His mother wished he would have played golf.

Exactly. I do not understand the basis for an ethical distinction btw allowing vulnerable people to freeze in their homes and allowing vulnerable people to broil in their homes.

Against the Very Idea of the Politicization of Public Health Policy I criticize the concern over the politicization of public health policy as a justification for preferring a narrow to a broad model of public health. My critique proceeds along 2 lines. First, the fac...

Since we're talking about the politicization of public health (again), I thought I might re-up my piece in @amjpublichealth.bsky.social on this exact subject. I'm rather fond of this one, esp for the way it integrates historiography on transatlantic public health. 🗃️ #PHEthx #HistoryMatters

I use this example all the time to emphasize the twin aims approach to #HealthJustice (w/ close ties to Benach et al.'s work on Rosean typologies of public health policy).

Extensive investment in ECD lifts everyone up (absolute health) AND compresses inequalities btw most & least well-off. #PHEthx

This looks awesome & also a reminder that the ethics of public health surveillance can be complicated. Sometimes, as in #DataDisaggregation contexts, undersurveillance is problematic. In other moments, as Professor Powell suggests here, oversurveillance is ethically concerning.

Senators Call for Inquiry Into Georgia’s Medicaid Work Requirement Program A group of Democratic lawmakers accused Georgia Pathways to Coverage, the only Medicaid work requirement program in the country, of spending little of its funding on health benefits.

"[Lawmakers pointed to the high costs of the program and the way the money had been spent: at least $40 million as of June, with more than 80 percent going to administrative and consulting costs."

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs.

Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this?
