Book Review: Pathological Altruism, Katrina Bramstedt
Book Review: Pathological Altruism, Katrina Bramstedt
Katrina A. Bramstedt
In my work as a transplant ethicist I have always been interested in the topic of altruism. Thus, when a book appeared with the title, Pathological Altruism, I was very intrigued to read it. An exceedingly heavy book, however, arrived in my mailbox, and I admit I was taken aback. But upon reading Pathological Altruism, edited by Barbara Oakley, Ariel Knafo, GuruprasadMadhavan, and David SloanWilson, I was not disappointed. In fact, chapter 1 baited me with the line, “Altruism can be the back door to hell.”

Art Review: Edo-Kingyo's Coolness And The Night Aquarium Museum Lounge, Katrina Bramstedt
Katrina A. Bramstedt
Extract:As with circuses, aquariums have been the subject of concern for animal welfare experts (Tilikum, Katina, Corky, Kasatka, and Ulises v. SeaWorld 2011): Is captivity the best place for these animals? Are these settings merely entertainment venues? If they provide an educational experience for viewers, does the learning experience outweigh the risks to the animals? Could the education be gained by other modes? What are the elements of animal welfare in the setting of an aquarium? After viewing the Edo—Kingyo’s Coolness Tokyo art exhibit online using the creator’s YouTube video (Kimura 2011), the importance of all of these questions becomes …

Managing Patients Whose Family Members Are Physicians, Katrina Bramstedt, M. Popovich
Managing Patients Whose Family Members Are Physicians, Katrina Bramstedt, M. Popovich
Katrina A. Bramstedt
The ethical complexities involving physicians who treat their own family members are well known and it is generally accepted that such practice should not occur. We present three anonymous cases in which patient family members who worked as physicians complicated the medical care of their hospitalized relatives. When a health care worker’s family member becomes a hospital patient, the situation can be emotionally charged due to the medical insight the multiple parties have, as well as the desire of relatives to be protective of their family members. Clinician-relatives need to allow the medical team to assume the role of caretaker …

The Ethical Complexities Of Online Organ Solicitation Via Donor-Patient Websites: Avoiding The "Beauty Contest"., E. Neidich, A. Neidich, J Cooper, Katrina Bramstedt
Katrina A. Bramstedt
The proliferation of the Internet has spurred the creation of websites dedicated to facilitating living directed organ donations. We argue that such sites potentially devolve into “beauty contests” where patients in need are evaluated on the basis of their personal appearance and biography—variables which should have no relevance to organ allocation. Altruism should be the guiding motivation for all donations, and when it does, there is no place for a beauty contest. The power of the Internet is optimally used when it facilitates Good Samaritan donations—donations to any stranger, rather than handpicked ones. Social networking sites which aim to match …
