Theological Ethics
Part 2: Contemporary ethical issues/
biomedical ethics
This course analyses contemporary biomedical
debates in their underlying philosophical and
theological principles, values, and views of the
human being.
The course examines the different Irish,
European and international argumentations and
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 positions on advance
care directives, on the new reproductive
technologies, genetics, healing, enhancement,
and cloning will be discussed. Films and excerpts
from (what used to be?) science fiction will
provide additional avenues to the topics.
