Ethics play an important role in healthcare, and need to be considered by health professionals and patients alike. On this course, you will get a practical introduction to ethics, and develop the reasoning skills needed to deal with ethical questions.

What topics will you cover?

  • Ethical reasoning: method and application
  • Key concepts of healthcare ethics
  • The ethics of using technology to choose to have a child with a ‘disability’ (e.g. deafness) and the ethics of routine antenatal screening for Down Syndrome.

The course was taught by Becki Bennett, professor of bioethics at the University of Manchester, and she was really good.

I think the best part of the course is the very well taught section on the ethics of technical selection for the birth of children with "disabilities" such as deafness and the ethics of routine prenatal screening for Down syndrome.

This course builds our understanding of these issues by examining the ethics of prenatal screening for disabilities such as Down syndrome and deafness, which is a great case study.

In this course, I obtain a practical introduction to morality and develop the reasoning skills needed to deal with moral problems. It really gave me a new perspective on moral theory.
