Explore and analyze ethical issues related to clinical and social aspects of medicine—both from the perspective of Catholic intellectual tradition and from other philosophical perspectives. For example, what is the primary role of a medical practitioner: to give the “customer” what s/he wants, or to promote a more objective standard of health? Under what conditions should a physician or nurse be allowed to opt out of doing work that violates his or her conscience? Is euthanasia ethically acceptable, and should it be legally permitted? And (how) should we provide medical care to those who cannot afford to pay for it? Prerequisite: PHIL 110 or PHIL 214.

Course description: Some of the major global health challenges we will discuss include communicable and non-communicable diseases, as well as environmental, women’s, and refugee health issues. We will pay particular attention to health systems and the role these systems play in promoting health and development around the globe. The course is global in its scope, but the focus of many of our discussions will be on low- and middle-income countries, the health of the poor, and health inequity. The relationship between health and socio-economic development will be examined throughout the course. The course will expose students to concepts from social epidemiology, such as social determinants of health and the impact of various social, economic, political, and historical contexts on health.
