This course will start with a general introduction to the domain and methods of bioethics, and then move to discussing the issues of abortion and reproductive freedom. We will then introduce the issues of valuing life in its extreme and most difficult circumstances, and explore the complex theme of autonomy in cases of assisted suicide, euthanasia, and vegetative states. In the last part of the course we will discuss the bioethical challenges prompted by genetics, such as cloning, human enhancement, and patenting genes, and how controversies over them impact on medical research. We will conclude by exploring the ethics of medical experimentation on humans and animals, and focus on the questions of justice in the resource allocation for health at state and global level.
