PHIL 6004 - Contemporary Issues in Bioethics (3 Credit Hours)



The course considers basic ethical theories, principles, and perspectives and their applicability to contemporary issues in bioethics. The limitations of these various theories and approaches will be examined as we consider how competing ethical theories are to be critically assessed. Particular attention will be devoted to the four basic principle of medicine-autonomy, nonmaleficence, justice, and benevolence-and how they serve as indispensable (but incomplete) guides to ethical-problem solving in healthcare.
