Bioethics in the Abrahamic Traditions
Location: Westbrook 0016
What do ancient religious traditions have to say about contemporary questions in bioethics? Laurie Zoloth of Northwestern University, Aasim Padela of the University of Chicago, and Duke's own Stanley Hauerwas will speak about the relationship between their work in bioethics and their religious traditions. These three esteemed scholars represent some of the most interesting and thoughtful scholarship produced at the intersections of Judaism, Islam, Christianity, and bioethics. This event is co-sponsored by the Forum for Scholars and Publics, the Kenan Institute for Ethics, the Center for Jewish Studies, the Islamic Studies Center, the Department of Religious Studies and Duke Divinity School's Initiative in Theology, Medicine, and Culture.
