“Bioethics for Babies” is the specialty of Margaret Mohrmann, professor of biomedical ethics at University of Virginia. Mohrmann was the most recent guest speaker in the local Matthew Vandivier Sims Memorial Lecture Series, established in honor of a local boy who died as an infant. Mohrmann thinks bioethics should play a more prominent role in the decision-making process for what’s in the best interests of the child.
