| Course Objectives: | -Understand a variety of ethical theories and frameworks utilized in evaluating and judging significant contemporary bioethical decisions. -Learn to recognize and evaluate the philosophical arguments. -Learn some significant and enduring issues in medical ethics, and to have a grasp of the most central tensions in the debates. -Develop the skill of evaluating ethical scenarios based on a variety of different (and often competing) perspectives (i.e. from the perspective of patient, physiotherapist, physician, nurse, family, administration, etc.) |
| Course Content: | This course will explore the major ethical issues confronting the practices of medicine and physiotherapy and rehabilitation. From the question of how ethical principles apply to the delivery of healthcare to the very recent debate on emerging technologies in medicine and the future of health profession, this course spans some of the most important ethical and social questions of our time: Could an embryo be called a person? Is there any moral difference between active and passive euthanasia? Should we accept organ donation from children? Should physicians always tell the truth to the patients? Does physiotherapy raise novel ethical problems unlike other areas of medicine? In this course, we will become familiar with ethical and legal positions, consider and debate opposing arguments on the various topics, and examine relevant case studies. We are not merely interested in what certain people believe, but also, and more to the point, whether the reasons they give for their beliefs are good ones. Class sessions consist primarily of lectures and discussion activities. |
