Course Description (for SIS)
What is the relationship between bodies, beliefs, and power? This course analyzes challenging ethical issues in religion and health care from Christian (Catholic and Protestant), Jewish, and Islamic theological perspectives. We begin by exploring various bioethical frameworks (narrative, virtue, principles, etc.) before applying these methods to a range of practical issues: end of life care, maternal-fetal relations, transplantation ethics, human genetics, research, and global health. In addition to theology and philosophy, the course engages the disciplines of politics, law, and public policy.
