In addition, difficult decisions involving values, norms, principles, and priorities are present in everyday clinical work. In this course, discuss and apply ethical theories to concrete examples of clinical practice such as euthanasia, reproduction technology, and organ donation, and discuss ethical questions related to medical research.
