On Sunday December 1 at 7 p.m., St. Vladimir's Seminary's student–run St. Ambrose Society will be hosting Dr. Ryan Nash, M.D., M.A. for a free and public lecture. Entitled "Compassion and Conscience: Health, the Good Life, and Death," the talk will be held in the Metropolitan Philip Auditorium.  Following the lecture, a question and answer session will allow for response and discussion. Refreshments will be served at the conclusion.

Dr. Nash is the director of the Ohio State University Center for Bioethics; his research focuses on the interplay between theology, morality, and medicine, especially in the realm of palliative care. He has held a number of chairs in clinical ethics, and he also serves on the editorial boards of The Journal of Medicine and Philosophy and Christian Bioethics. Dr. Nash is widely recognized as one of the nation's leading experts in medical ethics and palliative care. 

Earlier this year, the St. Ambrose Society sponsored a March 2013 Lecture titled "On the Corpse and the Chaplain: How Medicine is Destroying Pastoral Care" with Dr. Jeffrey Bishop, M.D., Ph.D.
