Bioethics laws have many particularities because of the technicity and sensitivity of the questions tackled. First, their revision is planned to be made within seven years. Second, since 2011, this revision must be preceded by a public debate called “États généraux de la bioéthique” which aims to involve all part of the society, from experts to uninitiated.The law regarding bioethics enacted on the 2nd of august 2021, is relevant on this point in two ways. First, it is the first law made after the requirements of 2011. It is therefore possible to assess the mild impact of public debate on law-making and decisions. Second, the changes made by the law enacted in 2021 allow us to identity the means mobilized to reinforce and perpetuate public participation in the field of bioethics.

ASA Class Is a Stronger Predictor of Early Revision Risk Following Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty than BMI.
JB JS Open Access
January 2025
School of Medicine, Rural Clinical School, University of Queensland, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia.
Background: Although there is a known correlation between obesity and revision risk following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), there is an ongoing debate regarding the appropriateness of denying TKA solely based on the body mass index (BMI) of a patient. Our aim was to determine whether a patient's American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class predicts their risks of early all-cause revision and revision for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following primary TKA, independent of their BMI.
Methods: Data from the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry (AOANJRR) were obtained regarding all patients who underwent primary TKA for osteoarthritis in Australia from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2022.

Background: Additional anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction has been associated with improved clinical outcomes and reduced failure rates in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Despite the excellent clinical results reported, there is still a heated debate about its indications. Currently, the indications are mainly based on the patient's clinical criteria and not the imaging diagnosis of the injury of this ligament.

Unlabelled: Since the inception of transplantation, it has been crucial to ensure that organ or tissue donations are made with valid informed consent to avoid concerns about coercion or exploitation. This issue is particularly challenging when it comes to infants and younger children, insofar as they are unable to provide consent. Despite their vulnerability, infants' organs and tissues are considered valuable for biomedical purposes due to their size and unique properties.

The concept of a 'good death' remains debated, with research largely focused on the Global North, leaving gaps in understanding its relevance to the Global South. While the concept of a good death is not a strict binary, notable differences exist. In the Global North, emphasis often lies on individual autonomy and preferences, whereas in the Global South, the focus tends to include the perspectives and needs of family and social networks.
