This one-day event is hosted by Bayan Claremont and co-organized by the Initiative on Islam & Medicine within the Program on Medicine and Religion at the University of Chicago, and is sponsored by the Doha International Center for Interfaith Dialogue (DICID). A range of experts, including medical practitioners, academics, and religious leaders from Muslim, Jewish, and Christian backgrounds, will examine theological, scientific, and legal dimensions of human dignity and of the healthcare practices and debates surrounding end-of-life. Participants will acquire knowledge regarding current thinking at the intersection of religion and care of the dying across the Abrahamic communities, and become better equipped to engage the issues with colleagues, patients, and community members.
