What happens when right and wrong aren't black and white? Welcome to Let's Get Ethical, where hosts Michael Sheahan and Robert Fishwick explore complex ethical dilemmas in healthcare—moments where answers aren't in textbooks and clinicians disagree. From end-of-life decisions to resource allocation, these aren't just clinical judgments—they're deeply human ones. Through real stories and expert perspectives, Mike and Rob examine why good people using the same ethical frameworks reach different conclusions. Join the conversation.

    Episode 1 - Two Lives, One Impossible Decision
    Jan 6 2026

    Welcome to Let's Get Ethical with Rob and Mike!

    In this episode, we tackle one of the most heart-wrenching cases you can imagine: a 27-year-old pregnant woman, brain dead after a catastrophic brain hemorrhage, with a 17-week fetus that's still viable. Her husband must make an impossible choice—remove life support, knowing both mother and unborn child will die, or keep her body functioning as a vessel for the developing baby, potentially for months.


    What's the right call? At what point does a premature infant have a real chance at life—23 weeks? 24 weeks? And what about the emotional, financial, and ethical burden placed on the family, the healthcare team, and the hospital system? We explore all sides of this gut-wrenching scenario, examining the medical realities, the ethical frameworks, and the deeply human elements that make cases like this so impossibly difficult.


    This isn't your typical stiff, academic ethics discussion. We're keeping it real, staying curious, and yes—having some fun while we wrestle with the hardest questions in medicine. Whether you're in healthcare, interested in bioethics, or just love a good thought-provoking conversation, this podcast is for you.
