2005-2006 Ethics Lecture Series: Ethics at the End of Life

As part of Spring Semester Events of the Ethics Program at Agnes Scott College, On January 31, a group of panelists will be taking a deeper look at the values, concepts, background, and implications of the debate over Terri Schiavo’s life-sustaining medical treatment and its termination in "The Life and Death of Terry Schaivo: Scientific, Religious and Ethical Perspectives. Another group of panelists on "Interfaith Panel on End-of-Life Medical Decisions" will on February 7, address end-of-life care issues, highlighting the concerns, principles, conflicts, and views dominant within their religious traditions. We have compiled a selected bibliography consisting of books, journal articles and other resources on scientific, ethical, medical and religious perspectives on ethics at the end of life.
