About this Unit:
As for APG4393, on successfully completing this unit, students should have acquired the skills to bring a solid theoretical framework to the analysis and evaluation of issues in bioethics; recognise, analyse, and evaluate ethical arguments; think critically about assumptions underlying debates in bioethics and applied ethics and recognise that certain issues in ethical theory are of intrinsic interest and value. An additional objective is of developing a sufficient understanding of long-standing debates about the nature of ethics to provide a basis for forming your own views on these issues.
