Ethics for Lunch: High-Stakes Adolescent Medical Decision-Making: What’s The Right Thing to Do?

Join us in person or via Zoom!

Adolescent medical decision-making can be challenging, particularly in the current climate of decreased trust in medicine. Dr. Hardart will present the case of an adolescent patient and family who refuse potentially life-saving treatment. Please join us for a conversation about how to ethically navigate such a complex case.

Speaker:

• George Hardart, Faculty Affiliate, Bioethics; Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Bioethics, Columbia University Medical Center; Director of the Program in Women and Children’s Bioethics; Director of Pediatric Clinical Ethics, Center for Bioethics
