Attitudes On Medical Ethics Of Criminal Neurointerventional Treatment, Haley Nicole Whitaker
Senior Honors Theses
As contemporary scientific advancements offer the opportunity to manipulate processes of the human body at a higher degree of invasiveness than ever before, a number of bioethical concerns are raised.
