BETH5104 Bioethics, Law and Policy centres on the following question: What is the relationship between bioethics, law and policy? The goal of the course is to investigate the effects of bioethics debates on law and policy (e.g., UNESCO’S Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights), and how law and policy shape some of the issues we address in bioethics (e.g., voluntary assisted dying laws). We will explore key similarities and differences between law and bioethics, in terms of subject matter and in terms of approaches and methods as well. Topics and cases related to clinical care, public and global health, and research will guide the conceptual work we will conduct collectively and individually.
