Ted Ideas worth spreading-

Paul Root Wolpe: It's time to question bio-engineering

U could show this video...it will ignite students interest in the topic.

Best of luck

Greetings,

I had bioethics as a biotechnology engineering student and one of the most important things of the subject is not about the "ethics" theory or history, which sometimes it's not so usefull. In fact, what it was really interesting in the subject of bioethics it was about the future professionals and their career, what would you do as a biotechnologist when you finish? Will you apply ethics in your researches or products? or even in laboratories or food process, we must have be aware we're doing those food researches for people, and we must do it for the wellness of all of them.

Also debates about genetic engineering and/or euthanasia are quite interesting, always charm your students, make them share ideas or opinions with strong fundaments.

Good luck!

Medically assisted procreation would also be a subject to debate with students. In France for example the recent legalization of marriage for homosexuals opens the way to such practice and this item is hardly debated

I took a semester course on ethics and the major topics were:

a) Plagiarism and intellectual property

b) Conflict of interests

c) Bioethics and patient consent

d) Sexual misconduct

e) Environmental health and safety

Case studies are always useful. The first three topics can be covered by the cases discussed below:

i took a course of tissue culture and bioethics.

we discuss about this video:

I found this guide online maybe it will help you.

You can download from google ; bioethics: the art of decision making

Please read Peter Singer's " Practical Ethics'. That is a must.

there are many sites of bioethics; you must try in bioedge. There is an interesting book that it calls "Fritz Jahr and the foundation of global bioethics (The future of integrative bioethics). You can find it at google books.

There are four aspect of bioethics

1. Theory of bioethics; the basic principle and concept of bioethics

2. Clinical ethics; the day to day moral decision making

3. Regulatory and policy bioethics; how to construct rule, law or procedure based on bioethics

4. Cultural bioethics; how to understand of bioethics based on historical context according to ideology and social as well as cultural in several country.

Which one do you want to teach ?

Hello Mr. Akhmad,

I have to teach the first part that you have mentioned & ethics from the point of view of biotechnology. One of the unit is talking about fundamentals & basics of bioethics & another unit talks about various critical matters for example genetically modified organisms & ethics, human cloning & ethics, human genome project & ethics, organ transplantation & ethics etc.

Thank you.

A good book that covers the sorts of fundamentals you mention is Case Studies in Biomedical Ethics, by Veatch, Haddad, and English. Even if you don't use it as a course text, it has a wealth of information, is very well written, and would be a good source for lecture/discussion material.

It would also be good to make sure to spend a decent amount of time listening to philosophers talk about ethics (there are plenty of online videos for this...Youtube and AcademicEarth.org are good places to start). Having approximately 20 years of experience in philosophy and several years of bioethics, from both philosophy and med school perspectives, I can say that how ethics/bioethics are taught by non-philosophers is different than how they're taught by someone with a background in philosophy. Philosophers are more rigorous in their approach...and the inverse example would also be true. You wouldn't get nearly the same level of sophistication from a philosopher discussing medical science or bioengineering as you would from someone dedicated to those disciplines.

You are on the right track for all the material but the end of bioethics teaching and learning is very tough to inculcate the value.

You should give student skill for doing fact deliberation, value deliberation, duty deliberation and test of value consistency and stringency.

Please refer Darryl R.J.Macer's Moral games for teaching Bioethics. This has many fun games to teach bioethics to the undergraduates. You can also refer other publications of Darryl R.J.Macer's contributions to bioethics
