| My research is in the area of biomedical ethics and public policy. The focus of my work is on end-of-life decision making with special emphasis on the role of artificial nutrition and hydration (ANH) at end-of-life care. I earned my M.A. and Ph.D. at the University of Buffalo in Buffalo, NY, and currently serve as professor of Political Science (1989- ) and coordinator of the Policy Studies program (1991- ) at Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA. |
