Study of the perplexing ethical problems of life science, biomedical research, and healthcare policy and how these topics relate to central philosophic issues within the field of ethics. The course is very interactive, using film, guest speakers, lectures, and classroom discussions on central issues of biomedical ethics of our time. These issues will be related to traditional philosophic positions and problems.
Public health ethics addresses the moral and ethical concerns surrounding local, national, and global health initiatives, responses to health crises, and general environmental safety. This course explores the ethical questions raised as well as theories and frameworks applied in public health, in an effort to address issues such as the primacy of the individual over society and/or vice-versa, community ethics, and the plurality of our conceptions and understanding of justice. The relationship between individuals, communities and policy makers is explored, as this problematic triad is at the center of public health ethics issues.
Research with human subjects or participants is vastly different from research dealing with plants, animals, particles, or other places of matter. This is because there are additional ethical considerations that must be taken into account. The goal of clinical research is to improve health by identifying, developing, and making available interventions that prevent, improve, or cure maladies. This course addresses the ethical dimensions of clinical research ethics by exploring dominant ethical frameworks and applying them to timely and critical issues in clinical research.
