The seminar invites students to examine ethical questions that arise in the everyday practice of medicine and to interpret those questions through a moral framework that draws on both natural law and medicine’s traditional orientation toward patient health. Topics explored will include the clinician-patient relationship, the limits of medicine, the meaning of autonomy, the place of conscience in the physician’s work, sexuality and reproduction, the beginning of life, disability, end-of-life care, and death.
