DESCRIPTION:End-of-life bioethics often presents a seemingly sharp divide 
 between Western emphasis on patient autonomy and truth-telling\, and some 
 Asian traditions favoring family-centered concealment to prevent psycholog
 ical harm.  This talk unpacks the moral complexity behind this apparent d
 ichotomy.  Using the film The Farewell as a case study — where a Chin
 ese-American family conceals a grandmother's terminal cancer diagnosis —
  I explore how the ethical principle of non-maleficence operates across di
 fferent cultures.  This talk will also attempt to answer the ethical ques
 tion: does benevolent concealment\, even when motivated by care\, constitu
 te a fundamental denial of patient agency?
