The Center for Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania, in cooperation with the producers of television's highest rated drama, ER, presents a look at the problems of bioethics in the setting of emergency medicine. Penn Center for Bioethics is provided with the plots for each upcoming episode of ER, and each week a different student in our Master's program in Bioethics (with help from appropriate faculty) writes a short essay on one of the most significant bioethical issues in that episode. A new essay will appear the day after the show.
