Michael Dunn

Oxford University Press is proud to return to the FT Weekend Oxford Literary Festival with another series of soap box talks from the very short introductions series.  These free, 15-minute talks feature expert authors from the series and take place twice a day in the Blackwell’s Marquee, next to the Sheldonian Theatre. No ticket is required.

The issue of medical ethics, from thorny moral questions such as euthanasia and the morality of killing, to political questions such as the fair distribution of health care resources, is rarely out of today’s media. Lecturer in health and social care ethics at the University of Oxford Dr Michael Dunn offers an introduction to medical ethics, showing why it holds such enduring interest for the general public and the medical practitioner, and contemplates its increasing importance in our age of globalisation.
