This course will focus on fascinating and difficult questions in three main areas of medical ethics: doctor-patient relationships, life issues, and social dimensions of medicine. In the doctor-patient section, we will look at issues such as confidentiality of medical records and whether a doctor can withhold information from a patient for his/her own good. In the life issues section, we will touch on the controversies surrounding stem-cell research and human cloning, as well as the more “traditional” issues of abortion and euthanasia. In the social dimensions section of the course, we will evaluate the current state of health care in the U.S. and consider whether or not other nations’ systems are an improvement over ours. Prerequisite: PHIL 110, 115, 197, 214 or 215.
