What should doctors do when a patient refuses life-saving treatment? Should gene editing be used to engineer “better” offspring? Who gets access to the last hospital bed in a pandemic? In this course, we will explore the world of bioethics, where science, medicine, public health, and moral decision-making collide. We will first go over the basics of bioethics and then dive into real-world case studies, including topics like end-of-life care, organ transplantation, surrogate decision makers, genetic testing, and more! The only thing you’ll need is an open mind ready for thinking, discussion, and analysis. I look forward to hearing your perspectives and opinions as we delve deeper into the field of bioethics!
