The modern discipline of medical ethics is regarded as postdating the Nuremberg Trials, and has become largely the preserve of philosophers. However, in the Georgian era, it was the doctors who were the opinion formers, publicly debating the medical issues of the day. Join Ruth Richardson to examine the range of British humanitarian commentary in the context of the medicine and surgery of the period.

Speaker: Ruth Richardson, Visiting Professor in Humanities, Hong Kong university and Affiliated Scholar in History and Philosophy of Science, University of Cambridge
