Ethics of health care will be explored in ISPS talk

Dr. Ezekiel J. Emanuel, chair of the Department of Clinical Bioethics at the Warren G. Magnuson Clinical Center at the National Institutes of Health, will be the next speaker in the Institution for Social and Policy Studies (ISPS) Bioethics Seminar series.

He will present two talks on Wednesday, Jan. 16: "Is There Overuse of Chemotherapy at the End of Life?" at noon at ISPS, 77 Prospect St., and "Communitarianism in Health Care Ethics" at 7:30 p.m. at the Joseph Slifka Center, 80 Wall St. Lunch will be provided at the noon meeting for those who contact Carol Pollard in advance at (203) 432-6188 or carol.pollard@yale.edu. Both lectures are free and open to the public.

Emanuel received his medical degree as well as a doctorate in political philosophy from Harvard University, and served as a fellow in the Program in Ethics and the Professions at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. A breast oncologist, he was a member of the faculties of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School.

Published widely in medical journals, Emanuel's articles have covered advance care directives and end of life issues, euthanasia, the ethics of managed care and the physician-patient relationship in medical journals. His book on medical ethics, "The Ends of Human Life," was widely praised and received honorable mention from the Woodrow Wilson Foundation.

Emanuel served as a member of the ethics section of President Clinton's Health Care Task Force and the National Bioethics Advisory Commission, as well as visiting professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and the Brin Professor at Johns Hopkins Medical School. His honors include the AMA-Burroughs Wellcome Leadership Award.
