Course Description:

This course examines contemporary issues that arise at the intersection of law, medicine, and ethics and addresses some of the most divisive, sharply debated, and rapidly emerging issues in society today. It provides an introduction to bioethics and addresses medical, legal, ethical, and policy issues in genomics and biotechnology; human subjects’ research; human reproduction and decision making at the beginning of the life; dying and decision making at the end of life; and rationing health care. In addition to our text, we will draw on recent articles and other sources in the media to explore current issues.
