At this event for practicing healthcare professionals, two IDEA alumni will give brief talks on their research into medical ethics.

Dr Amelia Thompson will be discussing the ban on gender reassignment surgery in adolescents, whilst Dr Emily Lindsay will discuss the different definitions of death and the implications that these have on practices such as organ donation.

Following the short talks, there will be a chance for a discussion of issues related to these topics.
