Is Left-Handedness a Disability?

This series will feature expert speakers from diverse fields, including bioethics, medicine, literature, philosophy, law, and public health. Each session will delve into critical issues such as patient autonomy, ethical dilemmas in medical practice, the impact of cultural narratives on health, and the evolving legal and policy landscape of healthcare. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions, broaden their perspectives, and contribute to shaping the future of healthcare. Ideal for healthcare professionals, students, policymakers, and anyone interested in the ethical and humanistic dimensions of medicine.
