Arizona Bioethics Network

Genetic information doesn’t end with us — but who should it be shared with, and when?

Join the Arizona Bioethics Network this April for a thought-provoking webinar exploring the ethical complexities of posthumous genetic disclosure.

Featuring Annette Mendola, PhD, HEC-C, Director of Clinical Ethics at the University of Tennessee, this session will examine the challenges of sharing (or withholding) genetic information with family members after death.

Together, we’ll explore:
• Ethical considerations around disclosure vs. confidentiality
• Current perspectives shaping this evolving issue
• Real-world barriers to communicating genetic risk

Join the Arizona Bioethics Network for our March webinar featuring Jonathan D. Craig-Mendes, a Clinical Ethicist at Banner Health System.

This webinar will first review the basic structure and formal requirements for drafting of Advanced Directive documents in Arizona. Then, the conversation will shift focus to the drafting of the “Additional Instructions” component of the Living Will, with special attention paid to the power of narrative in setting out treatment preferences.
