Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity
This Center is
based at Trinity International University in Chicago. It provides
information and updates in bioethics from a Christian perspective.
They host a yearly conference in Chicago which we will co-sponsor this
year. Previous speakers have included such outstanding clinicians as
Frances Collins, the head of the Human Genome Project. The Center
for Bioethics also provides an opportunity to obtain a Master's Degree in
Bioethics by attending the summer sessions and completing some wrap-around
courses at the same time. They are also working with us to develop
bioethics programs for medical and PA schools across the nation and are
hosting regional conferences entitled, "Breathtaking Decision
Making."
