The 60-minute seminar entitled “The Ethical Frontiers of Biomedicine” will feature nationally recognized consultant Dr. Vicki Lachman.

Dr. Lachman will address a number of ethical dilemmas that lie on the horizon of the burgeoning industry of biomedicine. Seminar attendees will be better equipped to make informal decisions about stem cell research, physician-assisted suicide and even human cloning.

The program, produced by Phi Theta Kappa and the National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC), is the second installment of a five part series entitled Dimensions and Directions of Health: Choices in the Maze.
