POSTPONED
Is there a distinct surgical ethics?
Christian Vercler, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Plastic Surgery
Co-Chair, Pediatric and Adult Ethics Committees
Co-Director, Clinical Ethics Program, CBSSM
Abstract: I will examine whether there is a distinct ethics of surgery, or if surgical ethics is just an expression of an already familiar medical ethics. I will argue that there is something truly distinct about the practice of surgery that is not adequately captured in contemporary bioethical discourse.
