I. Glenn Cohen || Patients with Passports: Medical Tourism, Law, and Ethics || Radcliffe Institute

While a fellow at the Radcliffe Institute, I. Glenn Cohen is writing a book about the growing phenomenon of medical tourism, the practice of citizens of one country traveling to seek medical care in another country. In this lecture, he examines the emerging legal and ethical issues brought up by the many varieties of medical tourism—for services that are legal in the destination and home country, for services that are illegal in the home country but legal in the destination country, and for services that are illegal in both places.
