SUMMARY:Early Diagnosis: Handling Knowing
DESCRIPTION:A colloquium to be held on 27 November 2024 at the University of St Andrews.     Key words: bioethics, medical ethics, behavioural economics, behavioural psychology, community wisdom, quality of life, right not to know, longevity.     There is a revolution in the early diagnosis of diseases and conditions that will affect the quality (not merely the quantity) of people's life expectancy. Increasingly accurate and detailed health predictions and trajectories means people are already having to make judgements:  What do I want to know?  Do I even want to know that such health information might be available to me?  Who do I want to share this information with?  How will I handle knowing?  New, more sophisticated and accessible, knowledge will require decisions about child-bearing, relationship building, or pension provision (amongst much else) that take on additional complications.     This colloquium aims to facilitate dialogue between two quite different perspectives on decision-making: behavioural economics and narrative identity-making in bioethics. The goal of the colloquium is to enhance the understanding of how people make decisions as well as why they make those decisions and what decisions they deem ethically robust.     On 27 November 2024 we are convening a colloquium featuring  Dr Emily Postan (Chancellor's Fellow in Bioethics, University of Edinburgh) and Prof. David Comerford (Economics, University of Stirling).     Programme  Registration, refreshments and network from 10:00 -- in the Senior Common Room, St Mary's College.  10:30 -- 12:30 keynote presentations and conversation between Dr Emily Postan and Prof. David Comerford, facilitated by Dr Morven Shearer (School of Medicine) and Dr Eric Stoddart (School of Divinity) of the University of St Andrews.  12:30 -- 13:30 lunch break  13:30 -- 16:00 short papers (10mins each) contributing to a round table discussion.
