SUMMARY:An Israeli perspective on Bioethical Dilemmas with Prof. Ravitsky
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to invite you to a thought-provoking discussion on the intersection of cultural values and bioethical dilemmas\, with a focus on Israel. \nHow do cultural values shape bioethical dilemmas?\nThis talk will explore how Israel\, as a Jewish-democratic state\, has addressed several bioethical challenges through its policy-making\, taking into account historical\, cultural\, and religious perspectives. Prof. Ravitsky will examine three key examples: fertility care\, end-of-life decision-making\, and posthumous reproduction\, including the impact of the events of October 7th. \nHaving been directly involved in policy-making on these issues\, Prof. Ravitsky will offer an insider’s look into the dynamic relationship between cultural values and democratic discourse in the realm of bioethics. \nVardit Ravitsky is President and CEO of the Hastings Center\, an independent\, nonpartisan bioethics research institute that is among the most prestigious bioethics and health policy institutes in the world. She is a Full Professor at the Bioethics Program\, School of Public Health\, University of Montreal and Senior Lecturer on Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School. She is Past President of the International Association of Bioethics. Ravitsky’s research focuses on the ethics of genomics and reproduction\, as well as the use of AI in biomedical research. She published over 200 articles and commentaries on bioethical issues\, and has given over 300 talks world-wide and over 400 media interviews. \nDon’t miss this unique opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of bioethics from a cultural perspective!
