Viewpoints: Is It Ethical For Young Kids To Take GLP-1s?; AI In Medicine Is A Tool, Not A Replacement

Opinion writers tackle these public health issues.

The debate over treatment in kids is missing a bigger problem. (Julia Belluz, 5/6)

I use A.I. all the time to help me diagnose and treat my patients. I also know where it falls short. (Danielle Ofri, 5/5)

I have spent the last 10 years of my life investigating psychedelics as novel treatments for mental health conditions. When President Trump signed his executive order on psychedelic medicines, my first thought was: He got this one right. My second thought: My field may not be ready for it. (Peter S. Hendricks, 5/6)

A recent episode of HBO's "The Pitt" portrayed the chilling effects of immigration enforcement in healthcare. (Alana Slavin, Marina Martinez, and Sasha Bercovitch, 5/6)

I was at the close of my interview with Muriel, wife and caregiver of my patient Jim, who has dementia caused by Alzheimer’s disease. Jim was in the waiting area so I could have a candid conversation with Muriel. (Jason Karlawish, 5/6)
