My interest in Gender Medicine relates to the ethical questions specific to that branch of medicine.
My research interests are related to this as well. I am focusing on the reformulating the Best Interests Standard to reflect how neonatologists, ethicists, and parents conceptualize the Best Interests of an infant. Related to this, I am also developing a way to counsel expectant parents on the risks
