For over a decade, I taught a course titled biomedical ethics, a subject teeming with complex moral dilemmas and deeply held convictions. The course provided an introduction to decision making within the realms of public health, medicine, and healthcare, focusing specifically on bioethical concerns. It covered a range of dilemmas encountered in bioethics, including legal, social, and ethical issues related to human genetics as well as the ethics surrounding the beginning and end of life. The course also explored critical topics such as life-and-death decisions, human organ transplantation, and the regulation of human research.
