About the program
A conference of interest to professionals and students from both the health
sciences and the humanities. Examining minority perspectives on bioethics is
useful and necessary. A health care system that serves all people must be
concerned not only with the mastery of technological tools and knowledge of
the intricacies of the physical body. It must also find ways to access the
mysteries of culture and understand the world of the human spirit.
