Bioethics
PHL4165 / 3 q.h.
The field of ethics in healthcare is interdisciplinary in character. While it remains anchored in philosophy, medical ethics intertwines the issues of politics, economic policy, sociology, and the law. Medicine is a fruitful area for philosophical exploration and application of basic theories that help to analyze practical problems and concrete moral dilemmas. The course addresses issues such as informed consent and whether patients have a “right to die.” The course covers the distribution of health services and the allocation of scarce resources. Students will become familiar with the complex issues and various possible responses.
