LGLS 3800U – Issues in Health Law and Biomedical Ethics


This course examines the principles, philosophies and debates in the biomedical field that are foundational to health law, with a focus on how law organizes health care access and resource allocation, and how health law responds to contentious bioethical issues. The course presents and critically reflects on law’s role in upholding patient rights, and corresponding responsibilities of medical professionals and the state, in relation to contemporary issues which may include consent to treatment and decisional capacity, management of medical information and patient rights to privacy and disclosure, reproductive justice, end of life decision-making, and organ and tissue donation.
