AI Article Synopsis
- Heidegger's concept of "Sorge" suggests that care is central to human existence, encompassing emotions like sorrow, worry, and the responsibility for others.
- The Hastings Center exemplifies genuine care through its scholars' commitment to various aspects of healthcare, including the well-being of humans and nonhumans alike.
- Bioethics, reflecting this ethos, can be understood as a form of care work, although it is complex and sometimes challenging to navigate.
Article Abstract
German philosopher Martin Heidegger argued that humans are defined by care. The term he used, "Sorge," picks out a wide range of caring relations, including sorrow, worry, the making of arrangements, and even fending for another. Since coming to The Hastings Center, I've been struck by the genuine care definitive of its scholars' relationship to their work. Care about newborns, the elderly, and nonhuman animals. Care about doctors, nurses, and health care institutions. Care expressed in the panoply of ways biomedical knowledge and practices inform our havings, doings, and beings in the world. Perhaps in its better moments, bioethics just is care work. But care work is hard and messy.

Grouping of chemicals has been proposed as a strategy to speed up the screening and identification of potential substances of concern among the broad chemical universe under REACH. Such grouping is usually based on shared structural features and should only be used for the prioritization objectives. However, additional considerations (as well as structural similarity) are needed, e.
