Making things right
26 August 2025 - 26 August 2025
5:30 pm start
Region(s): Wellington, Nationwide
Type(s): presentations
Join Professor Angela Ballantyne's in her free Inaugural Professorial Lecture at the University of Otago, Wellington.
This talk will describe the potential for bioethics to help clarify and navigate ethical dilemmas; pragmatically inching us closer to making things, if not right, then at least better.
What does it mean to make things right? Medicine and science often turn to bioethics for concrete solutions to ethical challenges. But in reality, there is rarely a single, obvious ‘right’ answer.
Human systems are inherently messy and challenged by a legacy of injustice, unequal distributions of power, and declining social trust.
Venue: Nordmeyer Theatre, 23a Mein Street, Newtown, University of Otago, Wellington, and online.
