Welcome back to CBme&U! For our first episode of 2026, and the new season 3, we have Assistant Professor Emily Largent (University of Pennsylvania), a bioethics expert, trained nurse, and Harvard law juris doctor graduate. With Sinead and James, Emily discusses decision-making capcaity, dementia, and how legal frameworks should adapt to recognise the whole class of people who have mild cognitive impairments who need to make decisions. Emily's research brings significant implications for governments and resource strapped healthcare systems grappling with an aging society.
Remember people, be savvy!
