CBEC Video Wins Award in Barcelona
The newest addition to the Local Moral Worlds series titled, “Whose Life Is It Anyway?” focuses on issues of medical decision-making for unconscious patients. The story follows Aslam, a 60-year-old man admitted to the ICU following a stroke. As he develops pneumonia, his family must grapple with the difficult decision of putting him on a ventilator. The scenario highlights the role and influence of the extended family in such situations. This video has also recently won the runner-up prize in the ‘Audiovisual Award in Bioethics,’ organized by the Víctor Grífols i Lucas, Foundation in Barcelona, Spain, out of 151 global submissions.
