CBHX 320 Health Care Ethics**

An examination of ethical theories and principles as they inform contemporary health care dilemmas. Students learn how philosophical principles - such as autonomy, confidentiality, veracity, justice, beneficence, non maleficence, and informed consent - create a context for exploring particular ethical topics, i.e., suicide, reproductive rights, death and dying, abortion, testing and screening, biomedical research, and professional conduct. Though dealing with practical situations, this course emphasizes critical and theoretical thinking.
