The recent loss of Nelson Mandela’s physical life pushed me to write the
first essay in the three topic series I have planned for a while. The topics
are 1) Heroes and Super Heroes, 2) Aging and 3) Dying on film. As it
happens, his life made significant contributions in each of these
areas. My hope is to juxtapose the different ways these ethical
tensions are made accessible on the screen across generations, genres and
platforms; adults x children, drama x comedy, live action x animation, film
x television, large screen x small screen. The goal is that various age cohorts
and clinicians will consider moving out of their comfort zones and view new
formats and genres. Hopefully better screen literacy will help cross
cultures and generations and provide better bioethics and clinical medical
ethics. Away we go into Bioethics Screen Reflections for 2014!
