Welcome! Medical caregivers aspire to uphold a demeanor that aligns with both personal and professional respect for life. However, the diverse range of Life Issues, coupled with the unclear legal standing of certain matters can pose challenges in formulating a logically cohesive and personally fulfilling ethical framework.
MeRLO seeks to add clarity by promoting civil discussion about these Life Issues in the context of invited presentations, small group meetings, and recommended readings. Join the movement, we are glad you are here!
Of particular interest: end-of-life care, physician-assisted suicide, elective abortion, human embryonic stem cell research, human cloning, and the status of human embryos in reproductive medicine, defining human death & the ethical procurement of human organs for transplantation, direct or indirect use of fetal human cells and/or products therefrom as medical therapeutics.
