THEO-26600 Theological Perspectives in Bioethics

This course examines the most influential narratives, including Catholic Christian views of God and of human beings, shaping the meaning and experience of our health, our lives, and our deaths. Religious, medical, and other cultural worldviews will be compared and contrasted as offering differing ways of framing and addressing bioethical questions, including but not limited to: Is life the most sacred value? Is there a right to die? How should communities anticipate and care for the needs of the most vulnerable?
