RST 450 - Christian Ethics and Biomedical Issues

Institution:

Salve Regina University

Subject:

Description:

Core Complement Course in Religious Studies How do rapidly changing biomedical technologies impact our sense of self, our relationships to others, and our future as a species? As citizens, both national and global, we are challenged to shape a world in which issues like in vitro fertilization, stem cell research, cloning, genetic manipulation, organ transplantation, just health care distribution, and end-of-life decisions are carefully analyzed and appropriately addressed. What insights might our moral and religious traditions bring to bear on such issues, and in turn what questions do biomedical technologies raise to moral and religious traditions? This course focuses primarily, but not exclusively, on Christianity and Western ethical viewpoints. Prerequisite: RST210. 3 credits.
