Bioethics

UAB

This course requires intellectual interest and discursive and critical ability to analyse new challenges posed by the scientific advances in the fields of life sciences, humans and biomedicine.   

The aims of the course are:

  • Analysis of the historical and scientific context in which "Bioethics" is born.
  • Identification of the new problems and current debates generated by the new advances in the field of life sciences, new technologies and biomedicine.
  • Understanding of the plurality of ideas and values around these issues in today's democratic societies.
  • Creation of an appropriate debate space to facilitate the adoption of personal positions based on possible consensus, to evaluate the legal regulations, existing social conventions and moral convictions. 

Important Notice on Course Suitability and Activities:

Some Summer School courses are designed for students with prior academic background in a specific discipline and may be unsuitable for participants without that preparation. 

In addition, certain courses include discipline-standard practical activities (for example, laboratory work with biological specimens, dissections, use of clinical or forensic material, field sampling, or other hands-on procedures) that may be unfamiliar or unsettling for some participants. 

Students are responsible for reading the course descriptor carefully and ensuring (i) that they meet any stated academic expectations or prerequisites, and (ii) that they are comfortable participating in the methods and activities described. 

If you are unsure about suitability, please contact the course lecturer(s) before enrolling.
