A Defining Error-A Performable Case Study with Discussion
|
| Date: |
Tuesday, December 4, 2012 |
| Time: |
7:00 PM - 8:00 PM |
| Location: |
Room 409, Benson University Center |
| Description: |
This case study, created in Professor Richard Robeson's Fall 2012 BIE 727 class, is inspired by events surrounding the 1989 creation and implementation of the Medical University of South Carolina's policy of drug-testing pregnant women suspected of crack cocaine use. The case considers a number of ethical questions, including involuntary urine drug screening for patients, substance abuse treatment imperatives, maternal-fetal conflict, and the appropriateness of involving the criminal justice system to implement healthcare policy.
Performable case studies are dramatic readings created from bioethics case prompts, research, and creative engagement with the human, ethical, social, and policy implications of the facts and issues under consideration. They are designed to promote discussion; therefore, audience discussion after the reading is an integral part of the performance.
Reception in Isil Lounge to follow performance. |
