Center for Bioethics

The Center for Bioethics' mission is to advance and disseminate knowledge concerning ethical issues in health care, biomedicine, and the life sciences. The Center conducts original interdisciplinary research, offers educational programs and courses, fosters public discussion and debate through community outreach activities, and assists in the formulation of public policy. The Center is directed by Prof. Jeffrey Kahn, Professor of Medicine. Prof. Kahn also holds graduate faculty appointments in the School of Public Health and Department of Philosophy.

The Center is open to all points of view regarding moral values and principles. Its research reflects a strong belief in combining the strengths of various disciplines and professions. When possible, research findings are integrated with policy analysis.

The Center provides education in bioethics for University students, faculty, and staff; professionals in health care and related fields; and interested members of the general public.
