    Description
    In this orientation to biomedical ethics, students will explore ethical dilemmas common in the medical field including but not limited to organ transplantation, the use of human beings and animals in research, genetic and reproductive technologies, abortion, euthanasia, and delivering healthcare. By considering how concepts such as justice, patient autonomy, caring, truth-telling, and resource allocation figure into such ethical dilemmas, the student will analyze various works of philosophical, literary, cultural and historical importance and develop an appreciation for how they relate to ethical decision making in the bio-medical field.
