Medical Ethics
This course provides an introduction to some of the central issues in medical ethics, including public health ethics and health policy.
It is aimed a students with a broad range of backgrounds—you do not need to have previous training in philosophy. Each topic will be introduced by real-life cases, often using documentary films and other source materials, and ethical concepts and arguments will be identified and analyzed in the course of discussion and debate.
Among other topics, we discuss physician-assisted suicide, genetic engineering, life-and-death choices, health care rationing, and ethical dilemmas in a pandemic.
