This
TEDxAbbotsford talk by Judy Illes, a CNT member at the University of British Columbia, was recently published online. Join Illes to learn how people think about brain surgery for neurologic and psychiatric conditions, including ethical concerns about hope versus hype, individual rights, justice, agency and privacy.
