MEDIC 10/13

Hello Everyone, On Monday, October 13 from 4:30 to 6, MEDIC will be holding a meeting in Health Sciences T-wing room 359. This week, Jane will be leading a discussion on Organ Donations and Autonomy, particularly for “mentally incompetent” adults and children. If you want to get a head start in preparation for Monday’s meeting, reading up on following cases would give you a good overview. Strunk v. Strunk: http://www.lawandbioethics.com/demo/Main/Media/Resources/Strunk.htm In Re Richardson: http://www.lawandbioethics.com/demo/Main/Media/Resources/Richardson.htm Also for those who are interested, we will be covering a short run-down of bioethics principles to guide our discussions as well. So come prepared to learn! Navigating the Health Sciences building can be tricky. Enter through the main T wing entrance, go down to the third floor, turn right, turn left at the first hallway on your left, and when that hallway tees, room 359 is just to your right. Bring your friends! Snacks will be provided! If you have any questions, feel free to email us at medicuw@uw.edu and be sure to like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/medicuw for updates about MEDIC and bioethics in the media. Hope to see you Monday, Annie Young, Shahar Levari, Julia Buschmann, Kaia Barth, and Jane Kwon MEDIC at UW University of Washington Student Organization Affiliated with Bioethics and Humanities http://students.washington.edu/medicuw/ medicuw@u.washington.edu [category Stu]
