SUMMARY:Los enredos del cerebro
DESCRIPTION:Son frecuentes las preguntas sobre cuáles pueden ser las señales de alarma que ayudan a identificar si las funciones cognitivas cambian. Muchas veces\, esos primeros síntomas del deterioro cognitivo pasan desapercibidos\, se asumen como parte del proceso de envejecimiento\, o como síntomas asociados a las enfermedades que trae la edad. Sin embargo\, siempre será necesario saber cuáles son las funciones cognitivas\, qué ocasionan su deterioro\, cómo puede esto prevenirse\, cuáles son los tipos de demencias y las principales características del alzhéimer. \n\nPara responder todas estas preguntas\, hemos invitado a Claudia Varón quién es Presidenta de la Fundación Acción Familiar Alzheimer Colombia – AFACOL\, para ser parte de este Café de la vida que tendrá lugar el próximo 12 de febrero\, a las 4pm\, vía zoom. \nTe esperamos en este espacio especial en el que las preguntas serán la clave para un diálogo imperdible. \nPara inscribirte envíanos el comprobante de tu donación a nuestro chat de WhatsApp ( +57) 3004265608 \, confirmaremos tu registro y enviaremos el vínculo de acceso al evento.

SUMMARY:The fight for assisted dying: Iceland and Ireland
DESCRIPTION:  \nSince 2016\, people across Canada have had the constitutional right to seek an assessment for a medically assisted death. Around the world\, however\, many nations are still navigating how their laws respect bodily autonomy and personal choice in the context of end-of-life rights. On Wednesday\, February 11th at 3:00 p.m. Eastern\, Dying With Dignity Canada cross borders to showcase the fight for assisted dying in Iceland and Ireland\, exploring their histories\, public perceptions\, and advocacy efforts. We’ll be sitting down with with Justin McKenna from End of Life Ireland and Ingrid Kuhlman from Lífsvirðing\, to learn how these organizations are working to ensure that choice\, compassion\, and dignity at the end of life are recognized

SUMMARY:Eumans! 4th Congress - Restart Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Representative democracy\, built on national frameworks and the pursuit of immediate electoral consensus\, can no longer address the major challenges of our time — wars\, failure to act on climate change\, technological revolution\, social fractures — which instead require cross-border and long-term responses. \nEuropean political leaders raise their voices to exploit popular anger for electoral purposes\, feeding nationalist illusions. This is weakening Europe\, while strengthening authoritarian powers and transnational economic oligarchies. \nThis vicious circle must be broken by bringing citizens back to the heart of politics. Democracy is not just “elections”; it also means informed participation in public decision-making. \nThe goal of Eumans — a pan-European movement for popular initiative — is to restart democracy by directly involving people beyond national borders\, both at European and local level. We aim to activate and technologically strengthen participatory tools such as referendums\, citizens’ initiatives and randomly selected citizens’ assemblies. \n  \nAfter Warsaw\, Gdańsk and Brussels\, the fourth Eumans Congress is being held in Paris\, in a country where the paralysis of representative democracy has led to an unprecedented institutional credibility crisis. At the same time\, France is home to civic initiatives\, including local ones\, that could turn the country into a laboratory for democratic innovation and citizen participation. \nFor Eumans\, restarting democracy in Europe is not an end in itself: it is essential to stop the continent’s decline and deliver effective answers to improve people’s quality of life and the health of our ecosystem. \n  \nDuring the Congress\, we will build on the campaigns we have been working on in recent months: for European systems of civic artificial intelligence; for the defence of the International Criminal Court; for human rights and civil liberties; for safe abortion (with the European Citizens’ Initiative “My Voice My Choice”) and for legal euthanasia (currently under discussion in the French Parliament); for a global taxation system on emissions and resource consumption; for ending subsidies to factory farming and against polar bear hunting.

SUMMARY:Hemlock Happenings
DESCRIPTION:Right to Die News from the Hemlock Society of San Diego \nPresented by law professor Thaddeus Pope\, this session explores the complex intersection of law\, ethics\, and autonomy at the end of life. While current medical advances help us live longer\, they often fail to ensure a life of sufficient quality and dignity\, especially for those facing Alzheimer’s or other dementias. This presentation examines four well-established end-of-life choices as well as five emerging choices. It also examines three theoretical options that push the boundaries of what may one day be legally possible in the U.S. Some of these ideas challenge public comfort and policy. But all are grounded in compassion\, reason\, and respect for personal choice. Join us for an informed and courageous discussion about how we might expand right-to-die options for older Americans in the years ahead.
