CASE Conference on Medical Ethics
Medical Ethics: Christian Perspectives on Life and Death
March 21, 2009
New College, UNSW, Sydney

We are excited about a one-day CASE conference that is planned for the 21st March this year on the topic of Medical ethics: Christian perspectives on life and death. This is our first attempt to bring to Sydney a forum where those interested in a biblical approach to the very topic issue of medical ethics can meet like-minded colleagues.  The conference will cover a broad sweep of ethically issues in the medical field. We think it will be a vital day for students and practitioners in the health professions, for Christian workers and indeed, for all Christians.

Topics are:

• Why should Christians be interested in ethics in Medicine?
• Ethical issues at the beginning of life
• Medical research involving children
• The ‘euthanasia debate’: clarifying the issues, the notion of autonomy and a Christian response
• Victorian abortion legislation—where does conscientious objection fit in?
• ‘My Soul Died When My Baby Died’: The Grief of Abortion

 

There will also be a panel consisting of the day’s speakers when participants can ask any questions to do with bioethics.
