    Abstract Aging and death need to be seen as a single reality, aging-and-death. Separating them largely voids the lessons to be learned from aging, and the benefits of seeing life as a whole and learning a new sense of beauty, meaning, hope, and love. All the distinctive experiences central to our sense of ourselves as human beings are tied to recognition of our mortality. Living a full life means accepting and embracing death as not only inevitable, but necessary and desirable.

    Abstract The author's skepticism about certifying bioethicists has a 20-year history. The hazards of certification include doubts about whether an online, multiple-choice exam measures what is important in bioethical deliberation. Other worries include the potential neglect of informal reasoning processes used by patients and families, the creation of a false sense of expertise, and how certification can disenfranchise lay members of ethics committees. This essay does not seek to reverse the growing trend toward certification but urges humility both in the process of certification and in interpreting the results. Humility is here defined through the works of Judith Andre and Jack Coulehan. Three kinds of humility are described as important for bioethics work: epistemic, moral, and ontological. The current qualifications for taking the certification exam are discussed, and suggestions for a better approach are offered.

    Abstract Health problems of global warming are daunting in severity and magnitude and will only get worse. Yet literacy about these problems is poor and plans to alleviate them are too early in development to be responsive to current levels of global threat and individual need. Social and ecological determinants of health and illness are exacerbated by excessive heat and flooding; lack of food, safe water, and secure shelter; and loss of arable land for farming. This article considers the nature and scope of ethicists' roles in awakening clinicians and the public to this crisis and offers 4 recommendations to reduce morbidity and mortality from climate change.

    Abstract There is much to admire in Lauris Kaldjian's explication of conscience and its uses for medical practitioners. Yet his claim that conscience is the final and best assessment of moral judgments is flawed, because it diminishes the influence of moral reasoning that balances and often corrects conscience. Skepticism about conscientious judgments is an important feature of ethics. Kaldjian's close linkage of conscience with moral integrity blunts the necessary recognition that one's conscience can be mistaken. His defense of physician refusals to refer patients gives insufficient weight to the idea that patients' actions in seeking services may also reflect conscientious judgments. Analyses of cases near the end of this essay present no problems with respecting physicians' conscientious refusals to provide services themselves, but they also mostly leave moral room for physicians to make referrals. Examination of these cases suggests other ways to resolve moral conflicts than recourse to one's conscience.

    Abstract Good science fiction can be a successful vehicle for portraying justice. Science fiction can stimulate moral imagination in much the same way as the most effective justice theories, connecting the world in which we live with a range of alternative futures deliberately and creatively made plausible. A selective examination of classic and recent science fiction stories and novels provides contextual framing for considering questions of climate justice, virtuous personal action in the face of structural injustice, and the problem of what justice means when some people are regarded as "other." By connecting compelling images of individual responsibility with the complex challenges posed by striving for social justice, science fiction can also help render justice work appealing and achievable-an essential step that is reinforced in closing by a brief set of maxims.
