Institution:

University of North Florida

Subject:

PHI-Philosophy

Description:

Prerequisite: Admission to the MA in Practical Philosophy and Applied Ethics or admission to the Graduate Certificate in Applied Ethics or permission of the Philosophy Graduate Coordinator. This course employs tools of ethical theory to examine a number of moral issues arising in health care. Issues to be considered include the physician-patient relationship, informed consent, advance directives, euthanasia, and physician-assisted suicide, experimentation on human subjects, and access to health care. Throughout this course we will examine assumptions about rights, persons, and ethical principles at play in the medical arena. Readings will include discussions of ethical principles in medial contexts, legal decisions, and case studies, providing students with the opportunity to sharpen their analytic skills and develop a deeper understanding of some of the major bioethical issues currently being debated.
