In bioethics, she focuses primarily on genetic research, Alzheimer’s Disease, reproductive technology and genetics, and decision making at the end of life. Many of her published articles have become bioethics teaching standards.  Most recently, she has collaborated with a social scientist to examine public opinion about health care decisionmaking for people with dementia.
