BETH5103: Bioethics in Society
2024 unit information
As the capstone, this Unit of Study will allow Masters of Bioethics students to draw together their learning and reflect on the place that bioethics should have in society. Students will critically engage in issues including the relationship between bioethics and advocacy; the contribution of bioethics to policy; the role of bioethics researchers in multi-disciplinary collaborations; how bioethics issues are discussed in the media, popular culture and literature; and the role that the public should play in discussions of bioethics issues. Students will respond to a range of topical examples throughout the semester. They will also have the opportunity to determine their own assessment topic.
