LAW 6002
Bioethics: From Nuremberg to Modern Times

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2020-2021.

This seminar explores the increasingly influential field of bioethics. Students will examine (1) the historical, sociological, public health, and legal contexts from which modern bioethics emerged as a coherent field in the mid 20th century, (2) the biomedical developments, legal engagements, and political controversies that reshaped the enterprise towards the latter part of the century, and (3) contemporary issues in bioethics – from human subject protections to reproductive and genetic technologies – and the role of law and public policy in mediating the relationship between medicine, science, public health, and society.

When Offered Fall.
