PSIC-1123B Bioethics
Currently, it is perfectly possible to see a boy/girl having 5 parents, that a woman ends her pregnancy even if she is brain dead, or that somebody is assisted to die while somebody else receives tissues and organs raised on a laboratory. These scenarios are not fiction but reality. Some other (as cloning and inter-species crossings) may barely be imagined as of now. This course takes on the different dilemmas and problems we are faced with by the new technological capacities, making special emphasis of the fashion how we understand the human being, parenthood, life and dead.
