  • REL 379 - Bioethics

    This course is a study of the ethical issues raised by rapidly expanding technology in the areas of medical interventions, treatment options in health care, and the ethical impact of those technologies which affect the ecological balance of our human environment. The basic principles of moral valuing are applied to the dilemmas studied and are examined from the point of view of human dignity and destiny as science and faith inform one another.
