"The Pillow Angel: Revisited"


Calvin alumni event at Seattle Children's Hospital!

Dr. Douglas Diekema '82, pediatric physician at Seattle Children's Hospital, will be giving a talk on the recent "Pillow Angel" medical ethics case that was national news last fall. How does a Christian grapple with the challenging medical ethics issues that confront us -- and will continue to do so with even greater frequency in the years ahead? Dr. Diekema was on the medical ethics board that approved the surgery in the "Ashley Case."

For more background, listen to the NPR interview with Doug .
