Winston Chiong<p>Announcing an upcoming panel on probably the most active controversy in <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/bioethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bioethics</span></a> that people outside medicine (and many within) haven't heard of, <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/ta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ta</span></a>-NRP for <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/organdonation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>organdonation</span></a>. (We're facing decisions about this at <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/UCSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UCSF</span></a> and many other hospitals are also considering their policies.) This is a method for increasing the quantity and quality of organs available for transplantation, but which many critics believe violates the dead donor rule. In ta-NRP circulatory death of the donor is declared, after which perfusion is restored to thoracic and abdominal organs while brain perfusion is (we think) surgically prevented. Ta-NRP is performed in Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, France, and in some centers in the US; is contrary to guidelines in Canada, Australia, and NZ; and has been paused in Belgium and the UK pending further study. </p><p>At <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Neuroethics2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Neuroethics2025</span></a> in Munich next month we'll host a panel, International Controversies over ta-NRP for Organ Procurement: Brain Perfusion and the Dead Donor Rule, including panelists to share key perspectives from three countries where ta-NRP has been performed, critiquing different conceptions of the role of the brain in circulatory death and how national professional and public norms affect views of this procedure: </p><ul><li>Karola Kreitmair (Univ. of Wisconsin, US) is a philosopher whose work addresses philosophical arguments regarding ta-NRP and the dead donor rule. </li><li>Amelia Hessheimer (Hosp.

UC Access Now<p>Just passing this on...</p><p>"Spill the Disabili-Tea: An Introduction to Disability Justice"</p><p>"What is disability justice and its relationship to racial justice? What’s the difference between access and inclusion? These and other complex questions will be explored in this virtual Disabili-Tea workshop with Alex Locust, a Black biracial, queer, disability justice educator, activist, and “Glamputee” who celebrates the harmony of his identities to help create the world we all want to see. Armed with bombastic charm, whimsical humor, and a sharp wit, Alex synthesizes his lived and professional experiences to share his knowledge and insights on what it means to adopt a disability justice framework that builds community and empowers individuals with disabilities.This workshop is open to all UCSF learners, staff and faculty.</p><p>Registration: <a href="https://tiny.ucsf.edu/b35L4m" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">tiny.ucsf.edu/b35L4m</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> "</p><p><a href="https://calendar.ucsf.edu/event/spill-the-disabili-tea-an-introduction-to-disability-justice-6949" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">calendar.ucsf.edu/event/spill-</span><span class="invisible">the-disabili-tea-an-introduction-to-disability-justice-6949</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/UCSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UCSF</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/UCAccessNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UCAccessNow</span></a></p>
