Hughes Endowed Lectureship in the Health Sciences
Part of the Niagara University October Speaker Series. Thursday, October 4, 2018, at 7 PM in the Castellani Art Museum. Jason T. Eberl will give a talk entitled “Defining Death and Challenges of Medical Ethics”.
Determination of death has important implications for the practice of medicine; yet this issue is still debated within the medical community. Dr. Eberl’s presentation will address how a human being’s death is defined and clinically determined. Various ethical perspectives will be discussed, along with the clinical implications on issues of end-of-life care, withdrawal of life support, the practice of organ transplantation, and the definition of “personhood”.
Free and open to the public. Refreshments will follow the lecture.
