Description
Developments in biotechnology and the life sciences have thrown into question existing policy approaches and instruments dealing with intellectual property, reproduction, health, informed consent, and privacy. They are reconstituting concepts of the self and its boundaries, kinship, and legal rights and obligations of people in relation to their governing institutions. Through reading primary materials and relevant secondary literatures, this course seeks to identify and explore salient ethical, legal, and policy issues — and possible solutions — associated with these developments.
