With Professor I. Glenn Cohen
Professor of Law

In this talk Professor I. Glenn Cohen will provide an overview of three recent “hot topics” at the intersection of medical ethics and the law: The Globalization of Health Care (especially medical tourism), the buying and selling of organs (e.g., the black markets for kidneys and the practice of transplant tourism), and the use of big data for predictive analytics in health care.

Launching with the May program, the one hour, monthly HLX ("H-LEX") Open Lecture Series is an alumni engagement program that provides HLS alumni around the globe with an opportunity to hear from HLS faculty!

This new offering will showcase our stellar HLS faculty, while reducing the barriers created by scheduling conflicts and lengthy travel – creating a vehicle for faculty to present on a topic of interest, current research, lead discussions on a current legal issue in the news, and/or discuss recent/pending Supreme Court decisions.
