These advancements raise all sorts of challenging issues.\u00a0Early diagnosis raises the possibility that a potential parent might have\u00a0<em>specific, personalised<\/em>, information suggesting they\u2019ll be unable to nurture their child until they become self-sufficient.\u00a0Early diagnosis introduces the possibility of rejecting a job applicant because of their likelihood of developing a mental disorder in the future.\u00a0State pensions disproportionately benefit the long-lived so perhaps the pension eligibility age should be\u00a0<em>personalised<\/em>\u00a0based on the individual\u2019s life expectancy.<\/p>\n<p>How might we handle this sort of increasingly accurate knowledge? \u00a0Our prior family experiences might help. It might be that wisdom in our communities comes from a religious tradition. There are perhaps philosophical perspectives that we would draw upon. Studies in psychology could be another resource.<\/p>\n<p>This webinar is an opportunity to learn about new advances in early diagnosis and to share in discussions about where we might turn to handle this new knowledge about our own future health.<\/p>\n<p>The event is part of a collaboration between the School of Medicine (the Mackenzie Institute for Early Diagnosis), the department of Philosophy and the School of Divinity of the University of St\u00a0Andrews.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Programme<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What is early diagnosis?
