Institution:

University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

PQ: Third- or fourth-year standing. This course does not meet requirements for the biological sciences major. This course is an in-depth analysis of what we mean by autonomy and how that meaning might be changed in a medical context. In particular, we focus on the potential compromises created by serious illness in a person with decision-making capacity and the peculiar transformations in the meaning of autonomy created by advance directives and substituted judgement. D. Brudney, J. Lantos. Winter.
