This course is based on knowledge received during the opening course. Students are trained to use a three step way of arguing: firstly general introduction to a given problem, biological/biochemical or medical background of certain specific problem, then so called descriptive ethics - description of different attitudes of different philosophers, philosophical schools, main religions etc. The most improtant step is the third one: an attempt to define my own stance supported by arguments. This three step method is demonstrate on plenty of case reports.

Last update: Mgr. et Mgr. Marek Vácha, Ph.D. (02.09.2008)

Lectures of History of Medicine and Medical Law are a follow-up to lectures from opening course. During seminars medical students familiarise a three step way of arguing: (1) general introduction to a given problem, biological/biochemical or medical background of certain specific problem (for example euthanasia)(2)a descriptive ethics - description of different attitudes of different philosophers, philosophical schools, main religions etc. (3) a normative ethics: an attempt to define my own stance supported by arguments, or identification of values. There are plenty of case reports for trainig this method. A considerable gain of this course is a often repeated discovery, that other intelligent persons or schoolmates or friends see this very same ethical dilemma from a radically different point of view.
