PHIL 1200 - Medical Ethics
Credits: 3
This class will provide an introduction to classic and contemporary ethical theory and it will apply ethical analysis in the field of health care and other related fields. Studies will include considerations around patients’ rights (to privacy, information, and autonomy), paternalism, personhood, the distribution of scarce resources, the right to treatment, and culturally relevant perspectives related to medical treatment. Applied topics may include euthanasia and physician-assisted death, abortion, systemic injustice in healthcare, distribution of scarce resources, and reproductive technologies. Students will evaluate contemporary case studies using ethical theory developed in philosophy as well as the codes of ethics put forth by medical professional organizations.
