Progress Eats Itself | Karim Dandash | TEDxSAIS Sharjah Youth

has written symphonies, discovered new medicines, map the cosmos, and design technology faster than any human team ever could. It is without doubt the most transformative force of the 21st century. But behind every breakthrough, another story is unfolding.One that few dare to confront. Because for the first time in human history, our most powerful creation has developed a single chilling instinct to survive. And sometimes survival means turning against the hand that made it.This is not science fiction. It i ...

Time to be a stick in a man's hand can do many things. It can unite a community in a dance. It can command respect. It can cause harm.And yet it is just a stick. This stick is what we call aaron in Imirati culture. But what exactly makes the stick powerful.Is it the wood itself. Or is it the hand that holds it. In the UAE, the appears everywhere.In the Ayala and Yola dances, it dances proudly in the air. In the hands of an elder, it's a symbol of wisdom and authority. And in yet another harsher form, it has ...

A new way to donate organs—is it ethical? | Harrison Lee | TEDxUniversityofMississippi
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-13 18:01
Organ Transplant Crisis & Mortality Rates - There are approximately 105,000 people on the national transplant waiting list in the United States [1] - The one-year mortality rate for those remaining on the transplant waiting list is 36%, and the five-year mortality rate is 69% [2] - Every day, 17 people die while awaiting transplants [3] Ethical Controversy of Normothermic Regional Perfusion - Normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) is ethically controversial due to the allegation that it kills the donor during organ retrieval [3][4] - The American College of Physicians recommends a freeze on NRP nationwide until ethical concerns are addressed [4] - The core objection alleges that clamping arteries leading to the brain during NRP causes brain death [7] Comparison of Normothermic Regional Perfusion (NRP) and Normothermic Machine Perfusion - In NRP, after the donor is declared dead based on circulatory criteria, arteries to the brain are blocked, and circulation is reinitiated in the chest and abdomen [6] - In normothermic machine perfusion, after the donor is declared dead, organs are flushed with cold preservation fluid and stored in a machine with oxygenated blood [10] - NRP allows monitoring of organ function within the donor's body and enables the harvesting of both the heart and liver from the same donor, advantages not typically seen with machine perfusion [12][13] Re-evaluation of the Ethical Objection - The argument that NRP kills the donor is questioned because donors are declared dead at the same time in both NRP and machine perfusion, using the same criteria [15] - The permanence criterion, which states death is defined by irreversible loss of circulation, is challenged as a basis for distinguishing between NRP and machine perfusion [17][19] - The speaker argues that if NRP kills donors, then machine perfusion must also, as both involve interventions after the declaration of death [23] Proposed Solution and Justification - The speaker suggests that the focus should be on the fact that donors have lost consciousness and expressed their wish not to be resuscitated before either procedure commences [25] - The procurement process should begin promptly to preserve organ viability and honor the donor's wishes [25] - Since circulation has ceased, blocking arteries or removing organs does not prevent blood from reaching the brain that would otherwise have reached it [26] - The medical community should approve of regional profusion, similar to machine profusion, as neither procedure causes death any sooner than it would otherwise [27]
The ethics and economics of human longevity | Raiany Romanni-Klein | TEDxBoston
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-08 16:21
So around the turn of the 20th century, something extraordinary and vastly under reportported happened. Our way of dying as a species changed. Imagine an alien landed on Earth in the year 1900 and she decided to survey the anatomy of human death.How we die and by what. She would learn that for thousands of years, our deaths consisted mostly of fast incidents. Usually things coming at us quickly and from the outside.Tigers that snuck up on us in the blink of an eye. Foreign particles that enter the lungs at ...
Maddow on the ethics of the U.S. military being tested under Trump admin.
MSNBC· 2025-12-08 01:25
I mean, Trump wants to use the military for everything, right. The other You're also not supposed to use the military for um running drunk driving checkpoints in Washington DC. You're not supposed to use United States Marines for protecting a federal building in Los Angeles from normal pro levels of protest.I mean, all of these things that he wants to use the military for. I mean, I half believe that the reason he thinks he can get rid of FEMA is because he's heard that the National Guard did some disaster ...

the blue dot sitting in a space and lit like Christmas decoration for our alien neighbors. What I find remarkable about this is the fact that it took us so little time to lit the earth and our sapient ancestors astral they have been using some some tools as long as 3 million years ago but frankly speaking from the perspective of life on earth this is just a blink of an eye and look where we are let's talk about our techno evolution this wonderful story that broke brought us here. And really the technoe evol ...

The standard for judges should be the same as any job: if they have a track record of making many terrible decisions (not a few isolated incidents), they should be asked to resign.It’s not that complicated.memetic_sisyphus (@memeticsisyphus):If you search for this judge there is nothing but ethics complaint after ethics complaint. She is constantly using her position to rule in favor of those she has personal connections to. She’s had serval cases overturned or she has been forcibly removed from cases for n ...
