Course Description

This course combines a broad exploration of the principles of ethical reasoning with a practical application of these principles to ethical problems in health care. We begin by exploring and evaluating four major ethical theories in depth. Building on this foundation, we then examine specific ethical challenges facing health care professionals today, including beginning-and-end-of-life issues, ethics of medical experimentation, freedom of conscience, and just distribution of health care resources. Throughout, we reflect on the principles behind some of the main concepts that health care professionals rely on every day, such as health, quality of life, autonomy, and consent.
