BIOETICA

The matter of the course is the analysis of the juridical regulation on biomedical trends, resulting from scientific and technological progress. Particularly the course considers the relation between law and science, the status of the human embryo, the status of the human body (res, information, identity, energy), the status of human being (personal, narrative, social, managerial identity).

The aim of the course is:

a) to test the ethical and legal implications of different bioethical problems

b) to identify and to know the main differing standpoints and arguments which appear in the bioethical debate.

Frontal classes (teachings) supported by slides. Exercises on the most significant bioethical cases based on the vision and discussion of some films.

Should teaching be carried out in mixed mode or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes with respect to previous statements, in line with the programme planned and outlined in the syllabus.
