Advances in medical treatment have presented the dilemma of whether a person may refuse treatment in the face of terminal illness, or, if suffering unbearable pain, may receive the assistance of a physician to ease the passage from life to death. This question has legal, philosophical, religious and ethical implications, which will be explored by a distinguished panel of speakers. The Health Law Society at Pace Law School is composed of students interested in the legal aspects of health care. The Society sponsors programs throughout the year which address issues with both medical and legal implications.
Programs are open to the public.
