The Matthew Vandivier Sims Memorial Lectures were created to foster discussion in one of two areas: issues in responsible
communication between patients, families, professional care
givers, and counselors; or issues in biomedical ethics.
The series was established in honor of Matthew Vandivier Sims, who died in infancy. It is a collaboration between the Matthew Vandivier Sims Memorial Lecture Fund and the Poynter Center.
Professor John Lantos presented the 10th annual Matthew Vandivier Sims Memorial Lecture Tuesday, April 12. His topic was "Narrative, Narcissism, and Notes from a Life in Neonatal Bioethics." Dr. Lantos, M.D., is the Director of the Bioethics Center at Children's Mercy Hospital and Clinics and Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine. Dr. Lantos also met with students from the Wells Scholars program and Hutton Honors College.
