3 cr.
(Prerequisites: PHIL 120  and PHIL 210  and one of the following:  PHIL 212  or PHIL 316 , or science/allied health major, or permission of instructor)

This course will focus narrowly upon an issue (or a set of related issues) in biomedical research which generates significant moral concern.

Typically the course will also consider the nature and purpose of biomedical research and medicine.
