  • Music and Arts in Health Promotion and Death Education: the St Christopher’S Schools Project
    Music and Arts in Action | Volume 3 | Issue 2 Music and Arts in Health Promotion and Death Education: The St Christopher’s Schools Project GIORGOS TSIRIS, MARION TASKER, VIRGINIA LAWSON, GERRY PRINCE, TAMSIN DIVES, MICK SANDS AND ANDREW RIDLEY Arts Team | St Christopher's Hospice | UK* ABSTRACT The reality of death and dying is rarely discussed openly in modern Western societies, while death sometimes is even considered to be a ‘failure’ in the context of traditional, medically-focused healthcare systems. Similarly, loss and transition are part of the National School Curriculum in the UK, but many schools still find approaching these subjects difficult. In this context St Christopher’s hospice in London has initiated and delivered the ‘Schools Project’ since 2005. The St Christopher’s Schools Project is an innovative community arts programme. It takes the form of short-term collaborative arts projects between terminally ill patients and students from primary and secondary schools, as well as colleges within the hospice’s catchment area. The Schools Project has attracted the interest of many other hospices, as well as other healthcare institutions and inspired the development of similar projects, both nationally and internationally. The aim of the Schools Project is to introduce the hospice and its work to the school communities in a creative and non-threatening way. Within a structured framework students are given the opportunity to interact and engage in music and art making together with terminally ill patients, culminating in an exhibition or performance. Promoting healthier attitudes towards death and dying amongst the students, their teachers, school peers, parents and carers, is at the core of the project.

  • ETHICS OWNERS a New Model of Organizational Responsibility in Data-Driven Technology Companies
    ETHICS OWNERS A New Model of Organizational Responsibility in Data-Driven Technology Companies Emanuel Moss Jacob Metcalf September 2020 Author: Emanuel Moss, doctoral candidate in Anthropology, CUNY Graduate Center, New York. Author: Jacob Metcalf, PhD, 2010, Philosophy, University of California, Santa Cruz. ETHICS OWNERS - 1 - PREFACE he world has moved in remarkable ways since this research Twas first initiated in late 2018 and the analysis was finalized in early-2020. Since then, we have seen the COVID-19 pandemic and the resurgence of the #BlackLivesMatter movement following the police killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and all too many others. Given these critical events, we as researchers and as members of a research organization paused to reflect on how our work speaks to the urgent injustices laid bare today. These events have dramatically foregrounded existing calls for jus- tice at the intersections of technology, unjust social and political structures, digital privacy, surveillance, and the values and purpose of technology corporations. Many of the defining events that have shaped ethics in the tech sector in recent years—including tech worker organization, walkouts and resignations over military con- tracts, continued contestations over racial and sexual harassment inside of tech companies, legislation and regulations, and critical audits—have been and continue to be the contentious background to the research conducted for this report. Our research takes place amidst, but is not primarily about, these tectonic changes that have repeatedly reframed the broader tech ethics conversation. It is in- stead about the ways those inside of tech companies have begun reshaping corporate practices against this background—how they understand the problems their industry faces, the means at their disposal to address these problems, and the lines of thought that shape those understandings.

  • Nurses and Midwives in Nazi Germany
    Downloaded by [New York University] at 03:18 04 October 2016 Nurses and Midwives in Nazi Germany This book is about the ethics of nursing and midwifery, and how these were abrogated during the Nazi era. Nurses and midwives actively killed their patients, many of whom were disabled children and infants and patients with mental (and other) illnesses or intellectual disabilities. The book gives the facts as well as theoretical perspectives as a lens through which these crimes can be viewed. It also provides a way to teach this history to nursing and midwifery students, and, for the first time, explains the role of one of the world’s most historically prominent midwifery leaders in the Nazi crimes.

  • Health Education As a Means of Addressing Death in the Elderly

The aim of this study is to find out what experience older people have had with death education and the importance they give to health education. A qualitative methodological design was selected using a semi-structured interview. The survey consisted of interviews with 28 participants from the city of Granada (Spain) aged 61 to 78. This qualitative-descriptive study is based on an analysis of older people’s experience of education and preparation for death throughout their lives. The results show that, in most cases, the only information received was in childhood and always from a religious perspective. Death and health are closely related, so working on death education helps to improve the quality of life of elderly people. Health education offers ways of coping with the end of life through the transmission Citation: Martínez-Heredia, N.; of values and practices that make it possible to anticipate and resolve situations of instability or Soriano Díaz, A.; Amaro Agudo, A.; anxiety.

  • AMA Journal of Ethics® June 2018, Volume 20, Number 6: 581-588
    AMA Journal of Ethics® June 2018, Volume 20, Number 6: 581-588 HISTORY OF MEDICINE Getting Past Dax Monica L. Gerrek, PhD Abstract Much has been written about Dax Cowart’s tragic burn injury, treatment, and recovery. While Dax’s case is certainly important to conversations regarding decision making in burn care, his is not the only story there is. In this article, the case of Andrea Rubin, also a severe burn survivor, is introduced as another voice in this conversation. Her experience during treatment and recovery is very different from Dax’s and should cause us to at least pause and reconsider how we think about treatment and decision making in burn care. Two Survivors, Two Stories In 1973, 25-year-old Dax Cowart, former captain of his high school football team, former Air Force pilot, rodeo rider, and aspiring commercial pilot, was severely burned as a result of a freak accident.1-5 Dax’s father had inadvertently parked his car on a bridge over a leaking propane pipe, and a spark from an attempt to start the car caused an explosion. His father was killed and Dax suffered a burn to 65% of his total body surface area (TBSA), with third-degree burns to his face, ears, and hands.1 Most of his fingers were amputated and he lost vision in both eyes. His words to the first person, a farmer, who arrived at the scene were, “Get me a gun. Can’t you see I’m a dead man. I’m going to die anyway.”2 During his very painful 14 months of treatment—6 in the hospital and 8 in a rehabilitation facility—Dax repeatedly requested that the team discontinue treatment.

  • Sunshine and Suicides in Japan: Revisiting the Relevance of Economic Determinants of Suicide*
    DE GRUYTER DOI 10.1515/cj-2013-0006 Contemporary Japan 2013; 25(2): 105–126 Ulrike Schaede Sunshine and Suicides in Japan: revisiting the relevance of economic determinants of suicide* Abstract: This paper investigates how exposure to sunshine affects the suicide rate in Japan, especially in relation to economic variables. Using prefecture- based data on socioeconomic variables for the years 1993–2009, the paper con- firms existing research in finding a significant correlation between suicides and unemployment, for both men and women. The interaction between sunshine and unemployment is also significant, and further analysis reveals that unem- ployment is not an important factor for suicide in high-sunshine prefectures, whereas in low-sunshine areas the effect of unemployment on the suicide rate rises. The divorce rate is highly significant and positive for men, but significant and negative for women, suggesting that many Japanese women consider divorce liberating. Current suicide research in Japan with its strong emphasis on economic variables may benefit from an inclusion of measures of general well-being.

We use citations analysis in this study, because it is an efficient method for identifying and visualizing intellectual bases in a given field. Then, it presents a conceptual model that summarizes the key relationships within the CER literature by reviewing the source articles. Finally, this study synthesizes intellectual contributions to CER literature, highlights unresolved issues, and identifies areas for future research. Keywords: corporate social responsibility; corporate ethical responsibility; sustainable development; citations analysis; literature review 1. Introduction Corporate social responsibilities (CSRs) are comprised of three areas of responsibility—economic, legal, and ethical [1]. Although many studies have been conducted on the economic and legal dimensions of CSRs, the ethical dimension has received relatively little attention among business and management disciplines. Corporate ethical responsibility (CER) is currently a challenging issue for businesses, because of the rising expectations related to operations and supply chain transparency.

Alternatives for Evaluating the Death Education Student J. Eugene Knott The University of Rhode Island Although grading in postsecondary education, according to Eison and Pollio (1987), dates back about 200 years, the formal pursuit of learning focused on human mortality per se has been a part of higher education for only about thirty years. In that brief period, however, has come a rapidly growing concern with issues of evaluating and grading, paired with con­ cern about motivation for enrollment in such courses in the first place. I've been very interested for some years in self-assessment as it bears on evaluation for grading, especially in courses where the content and ap­ proach encourage a great deal of self-disclosure and evaluation is likely to be highly subjective. The main question which intrigues me centers on whether adult stu­ dents given the option of choosing weights to be given to the various grad­ ing components in a course will use their self-knowledge to optimize their grades.
