Philosophy
PHIL 235 - Concordia University - Biomedical ethics
Course Description
PHIL 235 is a philosophy class on eConcordia that focusses on contemporary issues in biomedical ethics.
More specifically, the class focuses on different arguments within current debates in biomedical ethics, as well as on the application of different philosophical theories to these various debates.
Theories covered include utilitarianism, Kantianism, value ethics, and more. Some of the issues covered include reproductive ethics, abortion, euthanasia, animal experimentation, organ donation and transplantation and informed consent.
Evaluation focuses primarily on case studies. Students are expected to be able to analyze and/or present a case study that relates directly to one of the issues being covered. Students should also be able to synthesize the presented information and make connections between different course topics.
Success therefore depends on being able to identify the appropriate theoretical framework to apply to the case. In addition, students must also be familiar with the different arguments pertaining to these different topics. Lastly, students should be familiar with the different readings in the course and how to properly present and cite this information in relation to their argument.
