[Bioundgrd] Fwd: Bioethics Conference at Boston College

[Kathleen Long]

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. 

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.

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 at bc.edu, with an 
approximate number of attending students and any questions you may 
have. 


Sincerely,

Melanie McNally
Bioethics Conference Coordinator
