Conversation in Ethics - Clinical Ethics and Brain Injury

January 15, 2025

In January, we are excited to welcome Joseph Fins, M.D., a distinguished expert from Weill Cornell Medical College, as our guest speaker.

These conditions, including coma, vegetative state and minimally conscious state, have seen a significant rise in diagnosis and treatment due to advances in medical technology and a growing understanding of brain function.
