'Bodily Autonomy and the Law' focus of symposium


 

The University of Detroit Mercy School of Law will present the 106th Detroit Mercy Law Review Symposium: “Governing Bodies: Bodily Autonomy and the Law” virtually on Friday, March 4 from noon to 5:15 p.m.

Bodily autonomy has been regulated or banned on many levels throughout history, ranging from slavery to the right to an abortion, assisted suicide, transgender rights, and even issues surrounding the present COVID-19 pandemic.

While these laws and regulations have led to controversy and protest, it remains unclear where exactly the line should be drawn limiting government power over citizens’ bodies, or if there should be a line at all.

The virtual symposium consists of three panels featuring scholars, legal professionals, and community leaders from across the country.

The event will be streamed virtually for the public.
