On behalf of the Women’s Bioethics Project and Sage
Crossroads, I would like to thank all of you who attended the recent discussion
on Women and Aging: Ethical Implications for 2005 and Beyond at the Seattle Asian Art Museum. We had a great turnout and based on the audience
participation and feedback, the discussion was as lively and engaging as we
had hoped it would be. Our panel of experts from law, medicine, and humanities
examined ethical considerations of women and aging including: the efficacy of
the current healthcare system, the role of women as lifelong care-givers, gender
differences in status and power based on class and race, and planning for decline
versus planning for death. Almost all of you indicated a desire to see more
in-depth discussion on these topics and more relevant to women and aging. We
want you to know that we appreciate all your feedback and ideas, and are working
on our next set of forums around this issue. Stay tuned!
In case you missed this event or want to view the discussion
again, we are pleased to offer you a full Webcast and discussion transcript, available on our event partner’s website.
We also thought you would like to see recent press coverage of the event in the
Seattle Times by Liz Taylor. You can read what she had to say about the event
in her column on Women and Aging, in the Seattle
Times on August 1st.
Finally, I want to thank you for your interest in, and support of the Women’s
Bioethics Project. We are working hard to bring you more thoughtful discussions
by experts on women and bioethics. In the meantime, please visit our website for updates on our latest endeavors. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Sincerely,
Kathryn Hinsch
