Description

This seminar will consider end of life, origin of life, and medical ethical issues from an Orthodox perspective. In particular, students will be challenged to ask what difference an Orthodox Christian anthropology would make in treating these areas. The course makes use of texts by Fr. John Breck, Tristram Engelhardt, and the Blackwell Reader in bioethics.
