Competencies:

1. Identify ethical dilemmas through different lens, including those of gender lens, ability studies, and the perspectives of indigenous communities.

2. Apply the principles in the UNESCO Bioethics Core Curriculum to real situations.

6. Access relevant ethics literature, policies, guidelines, and standards.

7. Apply basic principles of ethical analysis to issues of public health practice and policy. 

Course Objectives: This course is an overview which aims to show that bioethics is not about thinking that we can always find one correct solution to ethical problems. There can be different choices made after ethical reflection, and different people make different decisions. Fundamental ethical principles can aid decision-making. Bioethics is learning how to balance different benefits, risks and duties, and to live in consensus with others of different moral conclusions. 

Course Purpose: The purpose of this course is to provide the student with the foundations and principles of bioethics across the world.  It will introduce descriptive, prescriptive, interactive and practical bioethics, through the principles accepted in the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights (including the UNESCO Core Curriculum in Bioethics). Some particular themes that see different policies between countries and over time will be introduced, such as the refusal of life-sustaining treatment, physician-assisted suicide, organ transplantation, abortion, the balance between individual liberty and protection of the public health, access to health care and rationing of health care. Visiting professors from different cultures will present cases related to the core topics, to supplement the main faculty.
