“Religion. Healthcare Policy. Do the Twain Meet? How religion may affect healthcare policy: some history and an example,” a lecture by Sister Rosemary Flanigan, Ph.D.
What does it mean to have a “religious consciousness” and how does having such a consciousness affect our thinking as we deal with life and death issues as well as a host of bioethical issues facing us today?
Sister Rosemary will explore a case in which a moral theologian faced a bioethical issue and, using his religious consciousness, proposed a policy to guide medical practitioners.
