Personalisierte Medizin – der Patient als Nutznießer oder Opfer?
Die Entwicklung und Anwendung von Medikamenten und Therapien erfolgte bisher nach dem Prinzip „one fits all“ überwiegend für recht große Gruppen von Patienten. Die sogenannte personalisierte Medizin führt aufgrund neuer Erkenntnisse über genetische Profile und Biomarker zu einem weitaus differenzierteren Vorgehen. Menschen mit scheinbar derselben Erkrankung reagieren zum Beispiel aufgrund ihrer individuellen Merkmale höchst unterschiedlich auf ein und dasselbe Medikament: Wird bei dem einen trotz hoher Dosierung gar kein Nutzen erzielt, profitiert ein anderer mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit schon bei geringer Dosierung.

OZSE PhD-Seminar Employment after your PhD-project: A jobs market workshop and an excursion
The OZSE PhD-seminar on May 25th consists of three activities: discuss the job market for ethicists from different employers, an interview workshop and an excursion to the Dutch parliament. For the morning session we invited two speakers: Frans Brom from the Rathenau Institute and Alies Struijs from the Centre for Ethics and Health (Centrum voor Ethiek en Gezondheid, CEG). Both speakers will give presentations on their organisations and fields of work, the typical tasks of their work and the roles they envision for ethical reflection. They will also tell us about the added value of ethicists and the skills sets required for the job. The morning session concludes with a discussion between guests and participants on the possibilities and requirements of ethicists on the job market.

Brocher Summer Academy in Global Population Health 2012
Of all the resources needed to conquer AIDS, TB, Malaria, and the other great threats to human health in the developing world, none is more essential than the people – doctors, nurses, scientists, and many others – who together constitute the workforce of health systems. Like money, drugs and other key resources, they are scarce. In other respects, however, they stand out among resources for health, for unlike pills and euros they have rights, and minds of their own, and they don’t necessarily go where health resource allocators want to send them.

Regulating Bodies & Influencing Health: Nudges, Incentives, & Public Policy
Government and policy-makers on both sides of the Atlantic have begun to draw on behavioural research when constructing health-affecting public policy and legislation. The relevant studies suggest that individuals are susceptible to a range of influences upon the decisions they make; for example, choices are shaped by the presentation of certain options as defaults or how available options are framed. Is it appropriate to use this knowledge to ‘nudge’ the public towards making better health-affecting decisions? Are such interventions ethically justifiable? Do they wrongly interfere with individual autonomous choice? Can they be justified by appeal to the idea of so-called ‘libertarian paternalism’, through promoting individuals’ interests whilst also preserving their liberty? Can, and if so ought, the state remain neutral in relation to such policy choices?
