Two-day Course organized in conjunction with the International Conference on Biomedical Ontology.
The leading philosophical approaches to personal identity provide very different accounts of what we are essentially, when we come into existence, when we go out of existence, how we persist across time, and what matters in our survival. This workshop will examine the implications of different theories of personal identity for the bioethical controversies surrounding embryonic stem cell research, abortion, death, organ procurement, informed consent and advance directives.
