PHIL 2810 Ethics & Health Care: Social Policy
CREDIT HOURS: 3
Do all people have a right to health care? How should we make allocation decisions about scarce health care resources? Should Canadians be allowed to buy organs? Should health care professionals be allowed to refuse to provide a referral for abortion? What are the ethical implications of prenatal genetic testing? Should health care workers be required to receive an annual influenza vaccination? What types of research on humans should be prohibited? In this class we will explore questions of this nature through a combination of lecture and discussion.
