Sponsored by the : Trent Center for Bioethics, Humanities & History of Medicine. How should we think about bioethics in an age of evidence-based medicine? How can empirical research properly inform vexing bioethical issues ranging from gene editing to honoring patients’ preferences for care to obtaining meaningful informed consent? How should such studies relate to determining what ought to be done in particular settings? Bioethicist Jeremy Sugarman (co-editor of the classic Methods in Medical Ethics, soon to be in its third edition) will provide a high-level but practical overview of the many tools now employed in bioethics — and which of them to use in the right way at the right time.
Jeremy Sugarman, MD, MPH, MA is an internationally recognized leader in bioethics with particular expertise in applying empirical methods for evaluating and analyzing bioethical issues.
