PHIL 174 - Bioethics

Institution:

King's College - Pennsylvania

Subject:

Philosophy

Description:

It has been proposed that bioethics is what angels - disembodied and immortal - would not have. More precisely, bioethics concerns issues and problems that arise in virtue of the bodily nature we human beings have: issues and problems around conception and birth, health and sickness, aging, dying, and the research we conduct and the technologies we have developed to ameliorate and enhance the human condition. Like bioethics itself, this course is concerned with moral theory as well as practice. Possible topics include the appropriate "ends" of heath care, the provision of health care, and the many controversies over different healthcare practices and procedures.
