Course objective in WS: The emphasis is on introducing different approaches in contemporary society with relation to medicine. For successful completion, students must submit a high quality essay on a very specific topic in one of the bioethical areas offered (e.g., the individual's responsibility for the health of self and the whole, ethical aspects of transplantation, end-of-life decision-making, or ethical issues related to reproductive decision-making) and follow a set procedure (e.g., submit essay in a binding template, draw on at least three relevant sources, cite according to APA style). Additionally, upon acceptance of this paper, each student will defend his or her work to an instructor from the Ethics Department. Each student will thus become more familiar with the ethical topic of his or her choice and become familiar with the basic argument.
Course objective in SS: Emphasis is placed on a deeper understanding of basic (bio)ethical issues through discussions where different opinions are often expressed. Students learn how to cultivate their opinions and how to present appropriate argumentative approaches, which they should already have experience with in their essay writing. There is thus mutual enrichment, where in discussions students can present ideas supported by reading relevant sources and discuss these further with others. The lecturers then sponsor and moderate these discussions in the core areas of bioethics. For a successful conclusion, students choose one of the required classical ethics texts, especially on the core areas of bioethics presented, and may choose an additional source of their choice to accompany these texts (a work of art may also be chosen if the student can defend it). Examiners ensure that students can present these classic ethical texts in a functional way, including the arguments used. |
