Human Dignity and the Future of Health Care

We want to draw your attention to a conference sponsored by the Institute for Faith & Learning at Baylor University, October 28-30, 2010. Entitled "Human Dignity and the Future of Health Care: Every Person Endowed with Dignity--Every Person Worthy of Care," it will feature guest speakers such as Elias Bongmba, Toyin Falola, Paul Griffiths, Daniel Sulmasy, and our 2010-2011 Remick Fellow, Gilbert Meilaender.

They ask: "Inspired by the conviction that a Christian understanding of the dignity of the human person should inform these fundamental questions, the 2010 Baylor Symposium on Faith and Culture seeks to explore the future of health care, not only in the United States but around the world. In an often compartmentalized debate, how might an acknowledgment of human dignity shape our understanding of the moral, political, and economic dimensions of one of the most pressing concerns of our time?"
