UPDATE: The lecture scheduled for today, March 14, has been postponed to Tuesday, March 21.
Harding University is hosting a bioethics lecture by Dr. C. Ben Mitchell on the topic of "The Christian Way of Dying." The lecture will be March 14 at 7 p.m. in Cone Chapel on the Harding University campus.
As human beings, we are all faced with our own mortality and the mortality of those we love. In today's death-denying culture, difficult decisions must be made in terms of quality of life, pursuing or foregoing treatment, and other concerns. Renowned bioethics expert Dr. C. Ben Mitchell presents a Christian view of bioethics for audiences seeking guidance on these relevant issues.
In his lecture "The Christian Way of Dying," Dr. Mitchell explores topics such as what patients want at the end of life and medical treatment of pain and suffering, and offers some theological principles for making end of life decisions.
