Theatre of Debate: Medicine and Humanity

Theatre of Debate: Medicine and HumanityT659296121
What is the mandate for modern medicine? Is it to keep people alive as long as possible, to charge people to lead healthier lives, or to fulfil fantasies that clients might desire for their bodies? The pace of medical advance is breathtaking, but what ethical guidelines should apply? A series of readings of new plays by young writers attempt to address some of these questions: 18 Sept - Cellmates by Sara Clifford, 22 Sept - The Diagnosis by Steve Waters, 3 Oct - Wicked Problems by Nicola Baldwin, 5 Oct - Playing God by Rhiannon Tise and 6 Oct - Juggling with Chainsaws by Jonathan Hall.
