Case Studies of Bioethics and Policy

3 Units

This course is designed to explore the relationship between policy in diverse domains and their implications for health and bioethics. We examine the various factors that lead to policy development at various levels, e.g., institutional and governmental levels and the various biases and assumptions that serve as a foundation for the development and establishment of policy across diverse domains. The course will explore the various roles that can be played by bioethicists in the formulation of health-related policy.
