COURSE DESCRIPTION
Medical ethics focuses on the intersection between ethics, medical theory, practice, and policy. This course introduces students to the methods of medical ethics by focusing on the process and concepts of ethics and applying them to debates in the medical field like assisted suicide and euthanasia, assisted reproduction and abortion, and the problems of justice and health care access. Students will learn to use ethical theories to make sense of moral conflicts and support their conclusions with evidence. This course emphasizes critical thinking, ethical decision-making, and problem solving.
