Bioethics in Film Series
Bioethics Film Series: “THE BRAIN" Schedule
Faculty, Students, & the Public Welcome
Each semester the Center for Biology and Society has a Bioethics in Film series. ASU students and faculty are encouraged to attend. Students may register for course credit. The theme for Fall 2009 is The Brain.
These four films were selected to represent different but complementary aspects of contemporary brain science and brain medicine. Viewing these films will set the stage to focus on ethical, personal, clinical, and societal dimensions of mental health, brain disease, and emerging neurotechnology.
