Expanded Course Description
| Medical Ethics (or, more broadly, Bioethics) is the branch of ethics that studies moral values in the biomedical sciences and can include a very large range of issues. This course aims to offer an interesting sampling of the ideas and practices that can be considered and examined in this area. This sampling is centered on the critical philosophical examination of the various assumptions, values, and socio-political forces underlying clinical, research and
biotechnological systems and practices. We will ask not only, “What are good or poor systems and practices and why?” but also, “What are the conceptual frameworks available for, assumed by or perpetuated through this system or practice?” and “What are the effects of this system or practice on people, on their lives, on possibilities for democracy/equality, and on potentials for injustice?” We focus on five major themes: Principles, Inequality, Normativity, Disability, and Enhancement. The work of this course should leave you better able to approach ethical dilemmas in your future work not only with reason and intelligence, but with sympathy and respect for human difference and an eye toward justice.
