Abstract
Please join us on Wednesday, March 19th from 4:10-5:30pm to celebrate the launch of a newly published co-edited book entitled Intellectual Disabilities and Autism: Ethics and Practice, co-edited by Andria Bianchi and Janet A. Vogt. The launch will provide attendees with information about what inspired the publication of this book (namely, a gap in bioethics education that the presenters identified as part of their training) and how this book serves as a response. As part of this book launch, a few authors will speak about their chapters, including ethical issues related to medical assistance in dying, moral status, inclusion & empowerment, and technology. Stay tuned for more information!
