CL 237 Catholic Medical Ethics (also LPS 344) This course explores the field of health care and the Roman Catholic reflection on various issues that surface in the highly complex setting of care giving. After exploring fundamental principles of Catholic ethics, we shall examine topics such as research and experimentation with human subjects, ethics in psychological counseling, fertility issues, regulation of birth, triage and death and dying issues. We shall explore these issues in the context of religious convictions always seeking ways within the pastoral setting to adequately inform consciences beneath the light of Roman Catholic magisterial teaching.
