| These lectures address diverse topics within bioethics and the medical humanities. Speakers are MH&B faculty or special guests we've invited to present. The lectures run every Thursday from noon to 12:45pm in the Searle Seminar Room in the Lurie building, during The Graduate School's fall, winter, and spring quarters. Due to public interest, we've made these lectures open to all, inside and outside the Northwestern community. Please feel free to bring a lunch. |

Thursday, October 16, 2008 This lectures explores the rules and norms that governs the dying process in hospices. The “natural” death which is directed by the medical regime is under threat by contingencies of the patient’s bodily condition. Often dying is hard work that is accomplished by the patient, the staff and the family to meet the expectations of the good dying.
