Section Info: In this course, we'll discuss some of the many pressing moral problems raised by our medical practices: What kinds of moral duties do doctors have to their patients? What kinds of information must patients have in order for their consent to be morally significant? How do we think about treatment at the beginning and end of life, when patients have not yet developed rational capacities or they have deteriorated? What obligations, if any, do we have to fetuses? What about people in persistent vegetative states? What is it morally acceptable for people who do have their rational faculties to do to their own bodies? May they sell body parts (their kidneys, for instance)? May they end their own lives?
