HIS 3365 - Bioethics in Historical Context

3 Credit Hour(s)

This course focuses on the development of bioethics, organized both chronologically and thematically. By situating fundamental ethical questions in historical context, we will analyze the influence of developments in science and technology (e.g., introduction of new drugs, transplantation, dialysis, cloning), as well as the cultural, political, and legal contexts of key ethical issues.
