Description:
This course will discuss the major ethical, legal and societal issues confronting biotechnology today. Biotechnology encompasses a huge area of scientific knowledge, from manipulating genes to cloning.
Bioethics is the study of the legal and ethical aspects of biology and medicine. The bioethical issues include many topics that include what to do at the end of life, what to do with frozen embryos, who will get the results of genetic testing and many more. The problems are endless. Aside from being current and interesting, these problems will be the problems you will face in your future lives. You are the consumers of these new technologies.
During the 15 weeks of this course we will be analyzing cases, doing readings, questioning our own values and morals, and arguing opinions. The subject areas are listed in the syllabus.
