  • Neurotechnology Governance in the United States

    Open AccessL Y Cabrera, Nia Evereteze et al.ARTICLEBioethics2026

    Neuroscience's accelerating advances have reached a pivotal point in the study of the human brain, including neurotechnologies capable of recording large amounts of data and acting with greater precision. However, the use of neurotechnology has raised a number of ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI). To that end, sufficiently robust policy and governance structures must be considered. To date, no published review of United States polici…

  • Identity Theft, Deep Brain Stimulation, and the Primacy of Post‐trial Obligations

    Open AccessJoseph J Fins, Amanda R Merner et al.ARTICLEThe Hastings Center Report2024

    Patient narratives from two investigational deep brain stimulation trials for traumatic brain injury and obsessive‐compulsive disorder reveal that injury and illness rob individuals of personal identity and that neuromodulation can restore it. The early success of these interventions makes a compelling case for continued post‐trial access to these technologies. Given the centrality of personal identity to respect for persons, a failure to provide…

  • Change without Change? Assessing Medicare Reimbursement for Advance Care Planning

    Open AccessMegan S WrightARTICLEThe Hastings Center Report2018

    In January 2016, Medicare began reimbursing clinicians for time spent engaging in advance care planning with their patients or patients’ surrogates. Such planning involves discussions of the care an individual would want to receive should he or she one day lose the capacity to make health care decisions or have conversations with a surrogate about, for example, end‐of‐life wishes. Clinicians can be reimbursed for face‐to‐face explanation and disc…
