BIOL 3010 Ethics in Biology
An overview of how we make ethical decisions in the field of biology. Coursework includes overviews of several ethical frameworks, but focuses on discussing and writing about of biological topics within the expertise of the Biology faculty (e.g. genetic technologies, medical research and treatment, stewardship of environmental resources, etc). A science background is not required, but will be helpful for in depth analysis. Student literature research and analysis of a real world situation will culminate in a final paper and presentation. Does not count toward Biology department major/minor credit.
