Elizabeth Yuko Speaking Topics

  • LET’S GET ETHICAL: EXPLORING BIOETHICS THROUGH A POP CULTURE LENS

    Never heard of bioethics? You’re not alone. Maybe you have firsthand experience making a complex medical decision – or maybe you’ve just seen it happen on TV. For many people, their first exposure to issues in bioethics – like end-of-life questions, reproductive technology, experimental treatment, or organ donation – is through storylines we see play out in movies and in television. Join bioethicist Dr. Elizabeth Yuko for an inside look into how our some of our favorite parts of pop culture can be effective learning tools in helping us understand complex medical and healthcare questions.

  • THE ETHICS OF HUMANS ON DISPLAY: FROM SIDESHOWS TO REALITY SHOWS

    Humans have always been fascinated by other humans. But with human curiosities come multiple ethical dilemmas. Is exploitation occurring? Was informed consent a consideration? How have people with varying physical abilities been treated? What do Coney Island sideshows have to do with neonatal intensive care? How did we get from Tod Browning’s 1932 film Freaks to Honey Boo Boo and the Long Island Medium? We’ll be revisiting instances of humans on display throughout history — from Daisy and Violet Hilton, to Paris and Nicky Hilton — and considering the ethical issues involved with performing, producing, and consuming this form of entertainment.

  • EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT BIOETHICS I LEARNED FROM THE GOLDEN GIRLS

    Picture it: A swarthy, young bioethicist uses one of the greatest sitcoms of all time to illustrate the application of the principles of bioethics. Throughout its run from 1985-1992, The Golden Girls was truly ahead of its time, addressing numerous complex issues, including conceiving via in vitro fertilization, human enhancement, the HIV/AIDS epidemic and stigmatization, organ donation, sexual health, body modification, end-of-life issues, and cryopreservation. For many who grew up watching the show either during its original run or in syndication, The Golden Girls was their first exposure to these, and other ethical dilemmas and the resulting decision-making process. Join Dr. Elizabeth Yuko for an introduction to and discussion of bioethics through clips and case studies from The Golden Girls. Who better to learn about autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and justice from than Dorothy, Blanche, Rose, and Sophia?

  • A BIOETHICIST EXPLAINS THE CORONAVIRUS
