While it is clear that information located through a Google search is public, the actual (and ideal) legal and moral status of much of this new information is less certain. …”

Against Futility Judgments for Patients with Prolonged Disorders of Consciousness by William Choi

“…Timothy Quill’s defense of the patient’s right to medical non-abandonment demonstrates “a world of difference between facing an uncertain future alone and facing it with a committed, caring, knowledgeable partner who will not shy away from difficult decisions when the path is unclear.”[17] As such, by advocating for their patients’ rights to life-sustaining treatment and refraining from making hasty futility judgments, clinicians can honor their enduring commitment to each patient’s wellbeing as they navigate the uncertain terrain of prolonged disorders of consciousness together…”

Genealogy of the Arab tribes living in Syria during the Caliphate of Imam Ali (AS)Typology of the Arab Tribes Living in the Levant during the Caliphate of Imam Ali (AS) Typology... by Akram sadat Hoseini, Yahya Mirhoseini

“…It is noteworthy that although the majority of the companion tribes were Qahtanis, the command and leadership were in the hands of the Adnanis. 2.2 Semi-Companion Groups This category included tribes where the majority of their members were in the service of Muawiyah, but certain factions among them were sympathetic to Imam Ali (AS) and distanced themselves from the pro-Levantine line. In other words, some individuals initially accompanied Muawiyah out of ignorance, but upon learning more about the events, continued to outwardly support him while actually acting in favor of Imam Ali (AS). …”

Medical Assistance in Dying for Persons Suffering Solely from Mental Illness in Canada by Chloe Eunice Panganiban, Srushhti Trivedi

“…But if MAiD were to be extended to those with mental illness as a singular underlying medical condition, what implications would this have for the world and society at large?

Comparative Ethics of Modern Payment Models by Jacob Riegler

“…Fee-For-Service Fee-for-service is the main payment model worldwide.[12] It has played a large role in shaping the structural nature of healthcare, particularly in the United States.[13] Fee-for-service, although declining, is still pervasive in the US health system and has created market forces that indirectly affect the geographic distribution of care, with an obvious volume-based market force.[14] Even with the advent of alternative payment models, fee-for-service remains the primary mode of physician compensation by percentage in primary care in the US.[15] Fee-for-service’s financial and organizational incentives are based on the number of patients seen and services rendered. The World Health Organization stated in its 2010 Health System Financing report that this model likely leads to care overprovision, inefficiency, and upwardly spiraling costs.[16] The pervasive volume-based incentive in fee-for-service misaligns with patient care goals as patient care is not its primary goal. …”
