Course Memo
This seminar will provide an overview of bioethics. Starting with the dominant philosophical approach, the course will then look to Christian approaches to bioethics. The remainder of the course will be spent examining particular issues in bioethics, including stem cell research, cloning, organ transplantation, and genetic engineering. Students will be asked to present materials related to one of the issues, write a reflection paper on a second of the issues, and write a final paper constructing a position on an issue in bioethics. No prior experience in science or ethics needed.
