PHIL 319J 001 Ethics of End-of-Life Care

What options does a person reaching the end of life have and how can they best be cared for?

This course will help students think philosophically and critically about issues like these in their cultural, historical, and legal context. Specific topics may include consent, human dignity, euthanasia, refusal or withdrawal of treatment, palliative care and holistic patient care, pluralism and diverse understandings of dying, and treatment of the elderly.
