What is bioethics? How are different ethical decisions considered in the medical community? What is autonomy, and why is it central to these considerations?

This week’s episode features Professor Samuel Reis-Dennis, an Assistant Professor in the Philosophy Department at Rice University and affiliated with Rice’s Medical Humanities Program. In this episode, Saurish and Professor Reis-Dennis explore the field of bioethics, as well as autonomy in some specific cases revolving around COVID-19 and ventilator allocation.
