A interseção entre tecnologia e biologia está a avançar de forma avassaladora. Quando falamos de tecnologia wearable, por exemplo, estamos a discutir não só gadgets, mas a fusão de homem e máquina de um modo que nunca imaginámos. 🦾💡 Mas essa integração levanta questões sérias sobre a nossa individualidade e autoconhecimento. Será que estamos a transformar a nossa biologia em uma constante busca por validação externa através de dados e métricas? A busca por suor, passos e batimentos cardíacos pode estar a eclipsar a compreensão das nossas emoções e conexões mais profundas. Na era do monitoramento constante, até que ponto a tecnologia está a servir ao nosso bem-estar, em vez de se transformar numa armadilha de comparação e insatisfação? 🤔🔍 #WearableTech #HumanExperience #Bioethics

"Even after the commission declared its charges against Mulholland, he was allowed to keep practicing while the case proceeded. He saw patients as late as May, before he went on leave.

At least 84 patients have filed lawsuits against Mulholland or his employer since the state’s investigation became public."

An OB-GYN Was Repeatedly Accused of Sexual Misconduct. The State Medical Board Let Him Keep Practicing.

The first accusation against Dr. Mark Mulholland came in January 2022. Two more arrived in 2023 and a fourth in 2024 before the board took action against his license last year. Then even more patients came forward.

So, bioethics and euthanasia. I will preface by saying that my PhD was #bioethics based, and I support autonomous #euthanasia. (Which is to say, I believe people have the right to decide their own destiny, but do not believe the State has that right.)

Right to Die should be as respected as any other personal medical decision. I tell you that story, because an incredibly brave woman, Noelia Castillo Ramos, has fought her father and a bunch of right wing god botherers, the ultra-conservative group Abogados Cristianos (Christian Lawyers), in #Spain to be allowed to end her misery.

I respect her Ms Ramos’s decision, and hope that she finds peace in the Source.
