Ethics in Medicine: From the Courts to the Clinic
Online Event
Registration
Registration is now closed (this event already took place).
Details
Appeals to recognize the moral status of enslaved humans, women, children, and non-human animals have often relied on the concept of personhood. More recent legislative and jurisprudential developments appeal to personhood to regulate conduct during pregnancy and restrict the provision of reproductive care. Given the wide scope and power of this concept, it is useful to trace its history and evaluate its use as a theoretical tool to advance human rights in medicine.
