Film and television, both fiction and nonfiction, capture man of the human tragedies, challenges, and possibilities that are debated in bioethics books, articles, newspapers, on hospital ethics committees, and in daily clinical care. This course will explore themes of birth, death, hope, fear, faith, finitude and resource allocation through watching, analyzing, and reading about bioethics issues in visual media. The course will draw on material from philosophical ethics to history, health policy, and film criticism to place these issues and their portrayals in context.
