Role of Altruism in Living Organ Donation and Surrogacy Roundtable
The University of Bristol’s Centre for Health, Law and Society invite you to join a roundtable discussion on the role of altruism in living organ donation and surrogacy. The aim of this roundtable is to determine how altruism is understood and applied within clinical and legal practice. Across the day four expert panels will explore the role of altruism in living organ donation and surrogacy.
More speakers will be confirmed in due course.
