On May 11th, the Bioethics Program hosted the first of many "Bioethics Breakfasts" at the Graduate Center. For this inaugural event, Prof. Baker invited his colleague and friend Dr. Noam Zohar to discuss his work on health care resource allocation. Dr. Zohar is Associate Professor of Jewish Philosophy and Chair (General Philosophy) at Bar-Ilan University, where he also directs the Graduate Program in Bioethics. Dr. Zohar is also a member of the Israeli Ministry of Health�s  National Advisory Committee, which meets yearly to assess new drugs and medical technologies and to make recommendations as to whether these drugs and techniques should be provided to all Israeli citizens as part of its universal health care package. Speaking to a group of twenty faculty, students, alumni and guests, Dr. Zohar described the ethical and moral issues that Committee faces when making such health policy recommendations. Starting in the 2010-11 academic year, the Bioethics Program plans to host these �Breakfasts� regularly. Everyone is invited to attend. In the future, we hope to webcast the lectures so that out-of-town students and alumni will be able to participate.
