Subject: HAB: Introduction


Hello, fellow Habermas folks! 

I'm Jennifer Holtz, a doctoral student in information management, with interests in
gerontology and medical education, one of which will be the focus of my dissertation at
some point.  In Research Concepts we're exploring the philosophical groundwork for
conducting research.  I've had plenty of exposure to positivism and phenomenology, so I
chose to investigate critical theory, specifically Habermas (obviously).  

This seems to be a slow-moving list, so I hope no one will be offended if I jump in with a
question.

After reading quite a bit, I'm still pondering the application of Habermas to the right to die
issue.  I would greatly appreciate any thoughts on this.
