Kutztown University’s philosophy professor, Dr. John Lizza, delivers the Chambliss Faculty Lecture on "Defining the End of Life" on Wednesday, May 2 at 4:30 p.m. in MSU 183. Dr. Lizza’s lecture, “Defining the End of Life,” examines the current debate over whether “brain death” is death and whether individuals in persistent vegetative state should be counted among the living “we.” Advances in medical technology have posed many ethical and social problems, but perhaps none more fundamental and challenging than the problem of defining death.
