Abstract
The January-February 2025 issue of the Hastings Center Report launches a new format for the journal's multipiece case studies. The basic concept of HCR's traditional format remains—different arguments are advanced by different authors in response to an ethical dilemma arising from a case. However, the two arguments are now developed in separate essays. In addition to this issue's case study are pieces covering a variety of topics, including “involuntary adoption” and the “legislative coercion” of antiabortion law, the use of brain-activity data to infer people's mental states, and the relevance of metaphysical, social, and ethical considerations to the question of whether brain death constitutes death.
