This program will be presented by Dr. Andrew Barnosky, UMMS Professor of Emergency Medicine and Anatomical Science, and Chair of the Adult Ethics Committee at UMHospitals. After a brief introduction to the main principles of Medical Ethics, Dr. Barnosky will discuss in broad terms a few special issues in ethics (such as euthanasia, physician assisted dying, abortion, stem cell research, advance directives, and more) providing a general framework for how to think about these very complex issues. Dr. Barnosky will also challenge the audience to tackle a few ethical scenarios together.
