In particular, it discusses the psychological trauma stemming from the condition of disfigurement and the complex dynamics of stigmatization and discrimination that follow. The analysis also focuses on the tendency of modern medicine to promote esthetic normalization, emphasizing how such medical treatments, although often necessary for physical recovery, raise profound questions about self-determination, individual freedom, and respect for human diversity. Through a critical examination of contemporary medical practices, the text discusses how the pressure toward esthetic normalization can negatively influence personal identity and the social perception of individuals affected by disfigurement. It argues that the prevailing medical approach, focused on physical correction, may not only limit esthetic diversity but also perpetuate stereotypes and discrimination. It highlights how academic literature and artistic practices offer alternative paradigms that value the uniqueness and authenticity of the human body, proposing a more inclusive and less conformist vision of physical and psychological wellbeing. The work of artists like Laura Ferguson and Mark Gilbert, along with theorizations by philosophers like Michel Foucault, provides a critical perspective on dominant cultural norms and suggests new ways of thinking about and treating disfigurement, emphasizing the importance of an approach that respects individual freedom and celebrates bodily diversity.","PeriodicalId":44238,"journal":{"name":"Linacre Quarterly","volume":" ","pages":"00243639251334426"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12095215/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144143768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, GCF are fully supportive of the notion of homosexuality as a normal and authentic expression of human sexuality. In this essay, I explore the logical connections that exist between the normalization of homosexuality and both GIT and QT, arguing that the acceptance of homosexuality as normal necessarily entails commitments that are at the very heart of these erroneous theories of sex and gender. In this way, there is fundamental incoherence in the opposition of GCF to GIT and QT. At the very heart of these theories is the denial of the significance of the way in which an individual is configured for human generation when it comes to personal identity. Homosexuality, likewise, fosters the notion that the generative configuration of an individual is insignificant because it is accorded no importance in guiding the truthful expression of sexuality precisely in that realm where generative configuration is the foundational reality. Developing this point, the essay shows how: (a) the acceptance of homosexuality as normal undermines the insistence by GCF of the primacy of sex over gender as the category on which the distinction of woman from man is founded; (b) the acceptance of homosexual inclination as normal undermines the possibility of claiming that transgenderism and those with gender identity disorder misperceive reality; and (c) how acceptance of homosexuality as an authentic alternative to heterosexuality involves logical commitments that validate the claim that a \"transwoman\" is equally a woman as any other.","PeriodicalId":44238,"journal":{"name":"Linacre Quarterly","volume":" ","pages":"00243639251334418"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12043625/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144050442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Is there a better way that medicine can care for individuals immersed in ambiguous, contradictory lives of sickness and death? In this paper, we argue that one corrective to spaceship ethics is reimagining medicine as a practice of solidarity. At its conceptual core, solidarity is a cooperative relationship that transcends self-interest and respects each person's dignity and sense of belonging-a collective human need that does not distinguish caregivers from patients. We build a theory of solidarity in the context of medical training by describing the life and legacy of Father Damien as well as the ongoing HIV-focused work of Shalom Delhi. We then discuss three practical ways in which contemporary medical training can encourage solidarity: (1) proximity to patients and communities; (2) choosing careers based on a community's needs; and (3) an openness to transformation by patients. We conclude that solidarity can be a corrective to spaceship ethics by enabling healthcare professionals to engage in complicated social realities of sickness, death, and provider-patient dynamics. A practice of medicine that is animated by a commitment to this type of solidarity reorients clinicians' lives and professional priorities around the experiences of the patients they care for. In a medical culture that trains healthcare practitioners to distance themselves from patients as whole persons, practicing solidarity encourages sustained proximity, advocacy, and dignity.","PeriodicalId":44238,"journal":{"name":"Linacre Quarterly","volume":" ","pages":"00243639251334417"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12043609/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144001698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His parents agreed to organ donation. During preparations for organ donation, Zack manifested a purposeful movement in response to a noxious stimulus made by his cousin. Following subsequent neurological recovery, he has returned to a normal life, holding steady employment and raising a family. During an interview, he reported that while in coma, he heard a doctor say that he was brain-dead and felt angry about it. His experience fits the phenomenon of cognitive-motor dissociation. Recently, Zack's medical records were made available to the first author. A critical review of the records uncovered a problem inherent in the logic of the Guideline algorithm regarding brain blood flow scintigraphy. This article discusses the lessons drawn from Zack's case, namely, that both the aforementioned problem and the occurrence of cognitive-motor dissociation in patients deemed to be brain-dead can pose a significant risk of a false-positive declaration of death.","PeriodicalId":44238,"journal":{"name":"Linacre Quarterly","volume":" ","pages":"00243639251317690"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11795570/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143366140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
