Outline (in English)

This course examines the evolution of bioethics from mid-20th-century human experimentation to its modern form, with a focus on human rights issues. Students will explore the four principles of bioethics—respect for autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice—as well as the three types of consent: informed consent, informed assent, and proxy consent. The course also covers relevant legal frameworks, including laws, guidelines, and declarations. To deepen their understanding of ethical dilemmas, students will watch medical dramas related to the course content.

This course is part of the "Culture, Society and Law" and "Administration, Public Policy and Law" tracks. Students are expected to read the assigned textbook sections and reference materials before each class to familiarize themselves with key concepts. After class, they should review the lecture notes and complete assignments using the class support system. Additionally, students are encouraged to summarize their thoughts on the topics discussed, incorporating insights from peer discussions.

Assessment will be based on assignments (50%) and a written exam (50%). Grading criteria include the ability to provide relevant examples (40%), a clear understanding of the four bioethical principles (30%), and the correct application of consent concepts (30%). Students who moderate group discussions and submit a summary will receive an additional five points toward their final grade.
