PHIL 2440 - Bioethics

3 credit(s)

This course is an introduction to ethical issues that arise in such areas as medicine, nursing, allied health, and public health. Decisions made in these areas affect every member of society deeply and profoundly, whether as patients, caregivers, family members, or taxpayers. The aim of this course is to explore how moral philosophy has influenced these fields and encourage students to think critically about the issues that arise - issues such as reproductive rights, genetics, euthanasia, abortion, stem cell research, etc. F, S.
