Ethics subject
Postgraduate

This subject aims to assist students to investigate and understand the ethical implications of technological advances as they affect health care. New technologies for diagnosis and treatment have brought about great changes in dealing with health and illness. At the same time, however, these new technologies present people with a range of choices and possibilities that demand closer attention to ethical issues. Students are helped to develop a critical evaluation of technology and its imperatives.
