The Hastings Center addresses social and ethical issues in health care, science, and technology. We study each of them through a common lens, a lens that asks us to identify which values are at stake, how to maximize their achievement, and how best to balance them, when they conflict. We always examine the issue in terms of a small set of essential values, or ethical considerations, like fairness, compassion, integrity, and stewardship.
How did community health centers promote equitable #Covid vaccination early in the vax roll-out? A new Hastings Center publication from J. Crane, R. Fabi, D. Pacia, C. Neuhaus, and N. Berlinger examines this question.

Will Gaylin's Wit, Wisdom, and Kindness
I’ve had the privilege of knowing more than a few extraordinarily brilliant people from whose mouths seemed to spill spontaneous gems of polished prose. None surpassed Will. For those of us who must struggle in our writing to convey with clarity the complicated ideas we are driven to share, Will’s gift for off-the-cuff eloquence was awe-inspiring.

Is it ethical to involuntarily commit homeless people? HC research assistant A. Lal examines the issue: "The consequences of involuntarily committing people before addressing the shortages within psychiatric centers will be significant." #mentalhealth #NYC #bioethics #ethics #healthcare #health https://www.thehastingscenter.org/new-york-citys-involuntary-commitment-plan-fulfilling-a-moral-obligation/
New York City’s Involuntary Commitment Plan: Fulfilling a Moral Obligation?
After a string of violent crimes involving mentally ill people who are homeless, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced a plan for police and emergency medical workers to involuntarily remove people with severe mental illness from the streets and bring them to hospitals for psychiatric evaluation. Mayor Adams said we have a “moral obligation” to help people who are mentally ill. But is this plan moral?
A beautiful tribute to Will Gaylin, our cofounder and president for many years, in the New York Times.
