Topic

Bioethics is concerned with cultural, ethical, and social issues in the fields of health care, agriculture, and the protection of the natural environment. The course focuses on the moral issues raised by modern medicine (health care) and the consensual or controversial ethical and legal responses to them. The aim of the course is to provide the students with the literacy skills that can be used in everyday life to help them make informed and autonomous decisions about their healthcare.

The course is recommended for students who have not take the course “Medical Ethics” (OFEOET)
