Among the topics considered are: patient choices and informed consent, proxy decision making, advance directives, brain death, withholding life-prolonging treatments and feeding tubes, diagnostic and experimental interventions on human embryos, cloning, artificial reproductive techniques, surrogate motherhood, preimplantation and prenatal testing, treatment and destruction (abortion) of fetuses, treatment of seriously defective babies, euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide, medical research on human subjects, transplanting organs from dead and living donors, the ethical implications of genetic medicine and genomic information, and the ethical issues arising in managed care payment systems. PHIL 3020 Nursing EthicsMonday/Wednesday 1:25-2:40pmCourse Description:The modern nurse must juggle a variety of professional, ethical, familial, prudential, and civic obligations. We often act as if good nursing can be encompassed by a concise and universal list of 'do's' and 'do nots'; however, we will see in this course that "good" nursing is far more complex. To this end, students can expect to utilize deontological, consequentialist, principles, and virtue ethics-based frameworks to analyze and evaluate a variety of responses to ethical conflicts in and around the nurse's obligation to advocate for their patients. Questions students can expect to encounter in the course include but are not limited to the following: How would both knowledge of public health policy debates and a concern for social justice inform one's views regarding informed consent, confidentiality, resource rationing, the legitimacy of for-profit care, crisis management, etc.? How could knowledge of institutional or systemic forms of oppression inform the way a nurse approaches their job? What is the right way to address the relationship between concern for oneself and concern for others in the workplace? In short, how could becoming more civically engaged make one a better nurse and what does it mean to be a good nurse in today's society? The aim will be for the student to then go on to construct and implement their own framework for decision-making.Candidates should possess a minimum of a Master's degree in Philosophy or a related field and preferably have experience teaching at the undergraduate level.
