Guest Speaker for HS Bioethics Students

Much of his presentation focused on the various bioethical and policy issues associated with patients with severe brain injuries and disorders of consciousness, the civil rights of these patients and the ethics that are followed when performing neurological and psychiatric research. Dr. Fins' passion for his work and his commitment to helping patients who can't speak for themselves was quite evident, and these traits hopefully served to motivate my students to continue to pursue the study of Bioethics in the future. 

We are grateful that Dr. Fins was able to take the time to visit our class, and we hope to see him next year. To become more familiar with Dr. Fins' work, please read one of his many books, the most recent is Rights Come to Mind: Brain Injury, Ethics and the Struggle for Consciousness, or watch one of his lectures/interviews on YouTube.
