Should I seek expensive treatment for a likely fatal illness? Should I tell my neighbor that her daughter is having sex with my son’s friend? Should my teenager have medication or surgery for being transgender? Should I put my mother in a nursing home?  Should I influence strongly my growing kid about where to go to college or what major to choose?

This talk will offer a simple scaffold on which to erect a house of good decisions for serious dilemmas. Attendee questions and input are strongly encouraged.

Dolores L. Christie, Ph.D. (Ohio Dominican University, Columbus, OH, ’59) will share her insights for moral decision-making and pointers for making choices that align with your values, principles, and ethical beliefs. Please join other Kappas for our next KGP Lecture.
