Bioethics
Should we clone humans? What should we think of the coming genetic revolution? How much control should we have over how and when we die? Is rationing health care good, bad, necessary or all of the above? This module
will explore fundamental ethical issues that arise in medicine, healthcare and the life sciences. Some are as old as
life itself: the vulnerability of illness, the fact of death. Some are new, brought on by a dizzying pace of technology
that can unsettle our core ideas about human nature and our place in the world. Through an analysis of extant
principles, theories and practices, this module aims to develop students' critical awareness of the moral, ethical and legal issues inherent within medicine, healthcare and the life sciences more broadly.
