| Description: | FACE TO FACE COURSE. NOT AVAILABLE TO VIRTUAL LEARNERS. PHI-319.02=PPE-329-02=GHL-310-01 Controversies in bioethics have become a regular part of contemporary life. We are in the midst of a biological and technological revolution that raises interesting and important ethical and philosophical questions: When does life begin? How do we define death? What life is worth living, who decides, and how? When is experimentation on humans justified? Should we allow a free market in human organs, tissues, genes? Should we use new technologies for human enhancement? What does it mean to suffer from disease and disability? What is a good relationship between a patient and caregivers? How can we provide a just distribution of health-care resources? We will consider these and other questions in a seminar discussion format. Recommended prerequisites: some background in Biology, e.g. BIO-101; and one prior course in Philosophy, or completion of Enduring Questions (FRC-101). |
