Theological Bioethics

Catalog description

This course will examine a series of prominent issues in bioethics from a theological perspective. The theological basis for an ethics of healthcare will be discussed as well as certain principles that flow from that foundation. This material will then be used to analyze a series of issues including treatment of the dying, experimentation on human embryos, and the just distribution of healthcare. This course partially satisfies Marian-specific general education curriculum standards of faith, ethics, and foundations of thought (2nd THL requirement).
