Students learn the language of the legal system and of biomedical ethics, and explore ethical and legal health care controversies related to issues such as reproductive health, organ donation, physician assisted dying, just allocation of health care, cloning and genetics, and human enhancements. Legal and ethical case studies, current news stories, and problems stimulate discussion and thought to give students the tools to make sound legal and ethical decisions"--Publisher's website.
