FOSEP SEMINAR: 'A NEW MORAL VISION FOR HEALTH CARE'

With taxpayers funding approximately 50% of U.S. healthcare and needs 
largely outweighing resources, funds and demands must be budgeted and 
prioritized through the "rationing" of health care. This opens the door 
to a largely unexplored ethical analysis of the macro-allocation of 
health resources. But while medical ethics control the behavior of 
health providers, public policy has its own independent ethical duties.

Co-Director of the Institute for Public Policy Studies at the University 
of Denver and former Colorado governor, Richard Lamm, will address these 
issues and outline conclusions that can be drawn from a new world of 
health care that seeks to maximize collective welfare rather than 
individual benefits.

This event is free and open to the public.

WHEN: Thursday,*May 12*from*5:30 to 6:30p.m.*(/Reception to follow/)
WHERE: CU Boulder Campus,*Cristol Chemistry, Room 142*

/The Forum on Science Ethics and Policy (FOSEP) is a multidisciplinary 
organization of graduate students, professional students, and 
postdoctoral fellows hosted by the Graduate School at CU Boulder. FOSEP 
works to build bridges between science and society and to foster leaders 
who are prepared to apply specialized expertise to 21st century challenges./
