Contemporary Ethical Issues
This course will analyse contemporary
biomedical debates with their underlying
philosophical and theological principles, values,
and views of the human being; and it will
examine the different European and
international legislations that these debates
have produced. Issues at the beginning and at
the end of human life, the possible conflict
between parents’ and children’s perspectives,
and the visions of society and humanity implied
in different views of the new reproductive
technologies, genetics, healing, enhancement,
cloning, and euthanasia will be discussed. Films
and excerpts from (what used to be?) science
fiction literature will provide additional avenues
to the topics.
