Lynsey Biondi

Honors Faculty Fellow Lecture

Students in “Ethics & Organ Transplant” will study the science of transplant surgery and immunology and analyze its bioethical implications using case studies of real-life dilemmas faced by medical professionals, patients and families. Students will form a foundation of scientific knowledge on transplant surgery, meet with multidisciplinary experts in organ donation and transplantation and develop an understanding of the four pillars of bioethics. Using this newfound expertise, students will confront the ethical complexities of impossibly difficult medical decisions from the perspective of the patient, family and medical professional. Students will be challenged to reconsider their preconceived ideas about transplants and to develop empathy for those with views that counter their own.
