</font><font face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">We, the members of
the Mendel Society at Boston College, would like to invite you and any
interested students from your institution to our annual Bioethics
Conference on March 19, 2005. The Mendel Society is the
pre-health organization on campus. We coordinate programs
throughout the year aimed at providing students interested in science
with information ranging from how to succeed at the pre-medical and
dental programs at Boston College, to advice from medical and dental
students when applying to these schools, to what students can expect
while attending medical or dental school<font size="-1">. <br>
<br>
</font>The Bioethics Conference will bring together students from
neighboring universities at Boston College to listen to and
participate in discussions concerning the most relevent ethical issues
in today's society. The day will begin at 8:30 in Higgins Hall
with a continental breakfast followed by our keynote speaker, Glenn
McGee. The rest of the morning will be filled with topic rooms
covering stem cell research, pharmaceuticals, summer programs in
bioethics, and ethics in research. After lunch, speakers from
around New England will present on various topics including nursing,
environmental law, and perspectives on the stem cell debate. The
last segment will be student sections including nursing presentations,
topic papers from Providence College students, student debates, and
organized discussions on resolving the stem cell issue in today's
society. The day will conclude with some final thoughts and the
drawing of our raffle winners.<br>
<br>
Tickets for this event will be sold at the door for $10 and include
admission to all of the speakers, breakfast, and lunch. Raffle
tickets will also be sold at the door for gift certificates to
Legal's Seafood, Cheescake Factory, Star Market, BC Bookstore, City
Sports, Boston Sports Club, a cash prize, a free MCAT course, and an
ipod. Please email me, Melanie McNally at mcnallmk@bc.edu, with
an approximate number of attending students and any questions you may
have. <br>

Sincerely,<br>
