A potential critical problem here is some providers' approach differing from that of others. To the extent that this occurs, the results may be arbitrary, and the harm from this may be profound since this may affect, of course, even whether some of these patients will live or die. One factor possibly resulting in these differences is the moral weight providers place on what family members want when these outcomes differ from what they think patients would want. Providers now most commonly place greatest moral weight on following what patients would want to maximally respect their autonomy, but this view may clash with the view of others who see autonomy as more relational and thus based on prior and present social relations with others. Giving family members' wants more moral weight is a radical departure from what providers do now and may increase these differences. I discuss here the rationales for and against these competing choices.</p>","PeriodicalId":39646,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Ethics","volume":"35 3","pages":"147-154"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141983570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Throughout the donation process, OPO staff must assume the role of a dual advocate, considering both the interests of the donor (which often include the wishes of the donor's family) and the interests of potential recipient(s). The benefits of this role are well established; however, minimal literature exists on the ways this role can cause moral distress in OPO staff, who frequently face scenarios in which adhering to the wishes of a donor family may compromise donation potential but failing to honor donor family requests may result in further emotional burden for the family. Given the frequency with which these ethically complex situations exist during donation, OPO staff are at heightened risk for experiencing moral distress and burnout, yet they are seldom acknowledged in the existing moral distress literature. As a result, it is unclear whether the current practices available to mitigate moral distress are beneficial for this population.</p>","PeriodicalId":39646,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Ethics","volume":"35 1","pages":"70-75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139906572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Contingency measures modify the allocation of hospital space, staff, and supplies in service of these two goals. Although functionally equivalent care is theoretically possible, hospitals often cannot know a priori which alterations to space, staff, or supplies will lead to downstream effects on patient outcomes, raising ethical questions about how hospitals should institute equitable contingency measures when safety and efficacy data is limited.

Historically, regulatory oversight of innovative approaches to surgery has been largely inconsistent, rendering surgeons relatively unrestricted creative latitude in the operating room; whether this has proven to be more beneficial or harmful is subject to debate. While innovation plays a crucial role in the advancement of surgical techniques, the potential drawbacks of unregulated innovation must be seriously considered, especially when treating vulnerable populations such as infants and children. This article provides an overview of the ethical aspects surrounding innovation in pediatric surgery, including discussion of relevant considerations, controversies, and pitfalls.

This piece explores, then, the extent to which providers should take these initiatives and, if they have this interest, whether as providers they should carry on these discussions or refer these patients, always, to clergy persons, as some providers adamantly advocate because they have expertise in this area that providers lack. This piece goes on to discuss whether providers believe they should have these discussions even when their patients' beliefs differ greatly from their own. In exploring this question, examples involving patients with Muslim, Hindu, and Christian beliefs are considered.
