This course is a study of specific ethical problems in the practice of medical science. Ethical issues examined include abortion, impaired infants, euthanasia, paternalism, truth-telling, confidentiality, human and animal experimentation, reproduction, cloning, and scarcity of resources. The purpose of the course is to provide an accepted ethical and biomedical framework to enable the student to reason clearly and effectively about the ethics involved in medical science and technology. Class sessions emphasize student participation and debate and use case studies as a format for discussion. The course assumes no prior knowledge of philosophical ethics. The course has also been designed to help students refine their ability to read and write scholarly work.
