Bioethics Without Boarders
The public face of bioethics focuses on hot-button issues such as stem cell research, genetic privacy and physician-assisted suicide. These are, without doubt, critical issues. But larger policy questions are often neglected. This multidisciplinary lecture series examines a wide range of neglected issues—from the ethics of health care reform to the impact of industry and national security funding on biomedical research, from the effects of climate change on global health to the ethics of food choice.
The "Bioethics Without Borders" Lecture Series is being made possible, in part, by support from Richard B. Lippin and the late Ronnie Lippin; Bioethics and Medical Humanities Program; Center for Health and Risk Communication; Center for Health Care and Policy Research; Center for Policy Research in Environment, Energy, and Community; College of the Liberal Arts; Department of Biobehavioral Health; Department of Health Policy and Administration; Department of Nutritional Sciences; Department of Philosophy; Department of Women's Studies; Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences; Penn State College of Medicine's Department of Humanities; Penn State Dickinson School of Law; Penn State Forum; Penn State Institutes of Energy and the Environment; Premedicine and Science Programs; Science, Technology and Society Program; and University Libraries. Rock Ethics Institute events are also made possible with the support of a generous gift from Doug and Julie Rock.
