21st Annual Pediatric Bioethics Conference: Adding Life to Their Years: Pediatrics, Palliative Care and Ethics

This year’s conference will focus on issues at the heart of pediatrics: the relief of suffering, maintenance of hope and promotion of flourishing of children and their families. Bioethics and palliative care share these commitments, yet they sometimes bring different perspectives on how best to achieve them.
We will explore questions that arise at the intersection of pediatrics bioethics and palliative care, identifying areas of controversy and of synergy. In an era of rapid technological, financial and social change, this conference will provide space for thoughtful dialogue about the ethical challenges and opportunities shaping the future of pediatric care.
Join us as we explore the ethical questions that shape how we care, communicate and find meaning in the lives of children and families facing serious illness.
