ETHix SERIES
Amidst accelerating technological change, rising societal division and a global pandemic, ethical issues are prominently and hotly debated in the public sphere. Through the ETHix SERIES, the Health Ethics and Policy lab aims to regularly bring some of the leading thinkers in Bioethics, Health Policy and Digital Ethics to a wider audience. Events have included timely discussions of the datafication of children or ethical issues around vaccine mandates for healthcare workers. Events are held online and are open to the public.
Upcoming events
Join our next event on the 25th of April with Vasiliki Rahimzadeh, PhD, Assistant Professor in the Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy, Baylor College of Medicine (Houston, Texas, USA).
In this talk, prof. Rahimzadeh will offer a primer on the metaverse, exploring its development, scope, and potential impact on healthcare. She will identify key areas distinguishing the Metaverse-Enabled Healthcare, including healthcare access, gamification of wellness, avatar rights, and policy governance, and stimulate discussion on the inherent ethical challenges, drawing on both normative and applied bioethics research.
