So, I noticed something about #Trump’s trip to #China, because I tend to pay attention to #bioethics stuff. Amongst all the panopticon bros was a solitary biotech executive; Jacob #Thaysen, CEO of #Illumina.
Illumina holds the patents that mean 80% of the world’s #genomic analysis is done via their products or databases.
According to #CIA agents, the #US left the #WHO so we didn’t have to admit that we’d funded the Chinese lab where #COVID seems to have originated.
Leaving the WHO also means Illumina no longer has to share their data with public health experts. And they’ve been first on the ground in both #hantavirus and #Ebola to sequence these outbreaks. #African countries must sign away their #genome rights before America will pay the health budget Congress authorized. So, that’s fun.
And once again, as I start digging, the #DreyDossier brings receipts. She’s a hella investigator.

What a terrible bioethics breach - Tasmania government apologises for display of autopsy body parts in museum without consent https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-19/tas-parliament-apologises-for-body-parts-in-museum/106690890 #bioethics #Tasmania

Polycystic ovary syndrome (#PCOS) was officially renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (#PMOS) on May 12, 2026,. This change, published in The #Lancet and announced at the European Congress of Endocrinology, followed a rigorous 14-year global consensus process. The update aims to reduce stigma, improve diagnosis, and accurately reflect the condition's complex, multi-system nature beyond just the ovaries.
This is huge news for women, as it’s estimated that up to a third of women experience some PMOS symptoms. The previous nomenclature meant that many women were not being diagnosed correctly. As a matter of #bioethics of women’s treatment, this is a big sea change. As to how it changes medical professional’s approach, we will have to determine.

I’ve had to erase a long expletive chain multiple times as that is what wants to come out of my fingers. Suffice it to say there are few Old Gods I have left unbothered by my requests to suck the entire 5th circuit back into the Nether Depths they came from.
The odds of the XtianNationalists who run the Supreme Court staying or overturning this ruling are very slim. Women are well and truly fucked right now.
So, there’s a couple things to be done.
If Blue state, fight like hell to get abortion enshrined in your state constitution.
If Red State, learn about Jane’s Collective.
If man, get reversible vasectomy.
Pregnancy can be more of a death sentence now than it has been in 60 years. At least before Roe they would prioritize the woman. Now, if pregnant, you have no rights above your fetus.
Stop fucking men who can get you pregnant. Snip is easy and cheap. #Lysistrata, my sisters in uterus.

In the thirteenth century, Aquinas wrote that story; he sanctified the ownership of land and the serf’s body by the lord as “divine order.” In the twenty‑first century, Yuval Noah Harari takes on the same task. Only this time, God gives way to Data, and divine order to the Algorithm.

Cryonics, mind uploads, immortal jellyfish — the secular immortality menu is long on ambition, short on evidence. We've rebranded eschatology, not escaped it.

Alcune startup starebbero pensando (anche se non ci sono conferme ufficiali) di creare in laboratorio cloni non senzienti di esseri umani.
Lo scopo sarebbe produrre organi per i trapianti, ma sullo sfondo c'è la possibilità di estendere la vita umana, con trapianti continui o con la sostituzione dell'intero corpo.
Con tutte le implicazioni etiche che ne deriverebbero.

A interseção entre tecnologia e biologia está a avançar de forma avassaladora. Quando falamos de tecnologia wearable, por exemplo, estamos a discutir não só gadgets, mas a fusão de homem e máquina de um modo que nunca imaginámos. 🦾💡 Mas essa integração levanta questões sérias sobre a nossa individualidade e autoconhecimento. Será que estamos a transformar a nossa biologia em uma constante busca por validação externa através de dados e métricas? A busca por suor, passos e batimentos cardíacos pode estar a eclipsar a compreensão das nossas emoções e conexões mais profundas. Na era do monitoramento constante, até que ponto a tecnologia está a servir ao nosso bem-estar, em vez de se transformar numa armadilha de comparação e insatisfação? 🤔🔍 #WearableTech #HumanExperience #Bioethics

So, bioethics and euthanasia. I will preface by saying that my PhD was #bioethics based, and I support autonomous #euthanasia. (Which is to say, I believe people have the right to decide their own destiny, but do not believe the State has that right.)
Right to Die should be as respected as any other personal medical decision. I tell you that story, because an incredibly brave woman, Noelia Castillo Ramos, has fought her father and a bunch of right wing god botherers, the ultra-conservative group Abogados Cristianos (Christian Lawyers), in #Spain to be allowed to end her misery.
I respect her Ms Ramos’s decision, and hope that she finds peace in the Source.
If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. In the US, call or text 988 or 988lifeline.org. In Spain, call the hotline at 024.
