For the second year in a row, Fr. Chris Saliga, O.P., chaplain and adjunct bioethics lecturer at Walsh University in N. Canton, OH, has been invited to deliver a scholarly poster presentation at the annual meeting of Duke University's Society for Spirituality, Theology & Health (June 3-5). This year, the paper he will deliver is co-authored by three Walsh University students who, the Friar says, "distinguished themselves in my bioethics course this spring." They are: Jeremia Curtis, class of 2009, political science; Ellyn Mayher, class of 2012, biology; and Jeff Hover, class of 2009, biology. The poster is entitled "Autonomy, Freedom, and Rational Suicide: Human Flourishing with End of Life Contexts." To view an abstract of the paper, please click here and scroll to the bottom.

Recently, Fr. Saliga, who is a columnist for the bioethics page on Catholic Exchange, also made presentations on bioethics at Weill Cornell College, Franciscan University, Columbia University and Quinipiac University.
