Hutton Honors College

Discussion lunch with ethicist James Childress.

This is a small-group program and requires participants to sign up in advance. Participants must be IU undergraduates and must sign up using the established procedures. For complete sign-up procedures, click here.

What are the questions patients, their families, and their advocates should ask when facing difficult medical decisions? Whom should they ask? And how can they reach a decision when the answers conflict? Join Professor Childress and Damon and Suzette Sims, Matthew's parents, for a discussion of the questions any of us could face, whether as patients, patient advocates, or the doctor you may hope to become. The discussion can also address any other issues of interest to participants, including but not limited to cloning, organ transplantation, and access to health care. The lunch is co-sponsored by the Wells Scholars Program and the Hutton Honors College.

Please note the opportunity to attend the Matthew Vandivier Sims Memorial Lecture given by James Childress on Thursday, March 3.
