A newly available kind of genetic testing, called polygenic embryo screening, promises to screen for conditions that can include cancer, obesity, autism, bipolar disorder, even celiac disease. These conditions are informed by many genetic variants and environmental factors - so companies like Orchid and Heliospect assign risk scores to each embryo for a given condition. These tests are expensive, only available through IVF, and some researchers question how these risk scores are calculated. But what would it mean culturally if more people tried to screen out some of these conditions? And how does this connect to societal ideas about whose lives are meaningful? Brittany gets into it with Vardit Ravitsky, senior lecturer at Harvard Medical School and president of the Hastings Center, a non-partisan bioethics research center, and Katie Hasson, associate director of the Center for Genetics and Society, a nonprofit public affairs organization that advocates for responsible use of genetic technology.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
Healthcare experts Laura Adams, Vardit Ravitsky, and Dr. Roxana Daneshjou discuss responsible AI implementation in medicine, examining governance approaches, shifting patient-provider relationships, and the identification of bias to ensure equitable deployment.
When health care meets ethics, our choices reveal as much about our values as they do about our scientific advances. In this episode, Vardit Ravitsky, President and CEO of the Hastings Center, highlights the role of bioethics in navigating complex health care choices, especially those made prominent by the pandemic. She describes bioethics as interdisciplinary, involving collaboration across philosophy, sociology, and other fields to address ethical issues like justice, equity, and patient autonomy. Her journey into bioethics began with personal experiences that led her to explore the intersections of technology and core human values, such as family and kinship. Looking ahead, Vardit identifies artificial intelligence and climate change as the next major ethical challenges in health care, with AI potentially increasing access but presenting risks like bias and privacy concerns. Viewing bioethics as a guide for responsible innovation, she sees the Hastings Center as dedicated to public engagement, policy influence, and fostering diversity within bioethics. Tune in and dive into the heart of bioethics, exploring how our most challenging health care decisions reflect who we are and shape the future of medicine! Learn more about your ad choices.

Listen until 27:27 to hear Vardit talk about growing up and her early curiosity. “I grew up in Jerusalem in a very homogeneous orthodox Jewish community. I didn't speak English or French. I could only speak Hebrew. The first time I left the country I was 13, so I had very little exposure to otherness, and I think already at that early age, I was tremendously curious about diversity. How do people live in other countries, other culture, what is it like to speak another language?What are other people's norms and values and how are they different? I was drawn to diversity before I even knew what it was, or before I could put any content into it.”Check out the book! - Fearless: Girls with Dreams, Women with VisionThe Fearless Women Podcastfearlesswomenpodcast@gmail.comThe Beacon Agency
