Bioethics – the ethics of everyday life

You cant open a newspaper or go to any news site without seeing at least one news item that has to do with bioethics. Bioethics? Much more than medical ethics. It includes how we look after the planet and other species on it. It was Fritz Jahr in 1927, who came up with the word “bioethics” when he published the article: Bio-Ethik: Eine Umschau ber die ethischen Beziehungen des Menschen zu Tier und Pflanze. The article introduced what he would later call “the Bioethical Imperative”.”All living beings are entitled to respect and should be treated not as means but as ends in themselves.”Bioethics is a challenging and exciting combination of policy, law, ethics, science & technology, politics, philosophy and even more, such as economy. Literally, bioethics means the ethics of life. WHO YOU AREYou care about what goes on in the world, and you have guts.

COURSE CURRICULUMThe course is shaped like an ocean wave. It builds up from a light beginning into pretty heavy and theoretical stuff, in longer lectures, and is rounded off with a return to lighter, shorter lectures. SECTION 1: INTRODUCTIONThis section sets out what this course is about. Surprise surprise. Lecture 1. IntroductionThis lecture gives you information to do with this course and looks into the use of rhetoric, as a tool you can use and as something you need to be aware of. SECTION 2: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE HUMANThis is a question many philosophers ponder and that is highly relevant for the bigger picture in all sorts of discussion. It can serve as a tool to base arguments on. Lecture 2. What does it mean to be human?In this lecture, we discuss a definition a particular philosopher came up with. Lecture 3. But what about animals?Definitions we come up for what it means to be human may also apply to other species. Lecture 4. Should we respect other species more?Other species are not as different from us as we used to think. Shouldn’t that have consequences for how we treat them? Fritz Jahrs bioethical imperative says we have to treat then with respect. Lecture 5. The new eugenics, introductionIn addition to the old Nazi-style eugenics, we now have the new eugenics. This development raises many questions and we should all contribute to this debate. SECTION 3: DISABILITIES AND DIVERSITYHuman diversity is much more varied than most of us assume. This diversity enriches our lives, our knowledge, our progress and our societies. Yet variations on human life are still often seen as defects, but that view short-changes us all. Lecture 6. Are people with disabilities expensive?An argument sometimes made for removing certain variations of humans from future populations is that they cost more. Is that true? Is it relevant?Lecture 7. Many so-called impairments are created by societySociety makes the lives of some people much more difficult than they need to be. Thats slowly starting to change. Lecture 8. Why we may need diversityMany disabilities are natural variations of the human species and come with special abilities and characteristics. In the future, we may need these abilities badly. Lecture 9. Mental health versus physical healthIt is time to start seeing mental health conditions in a new light, as brain-related conditions that deserve the same care, respect, and attention as purely physical conditions. Lecture 10. Discrimination. Stereotypes. Prejudices. Stigmas. Stigmas debilitate. Stigmas render people powerless. Stigmas are mostly figments of other peoples imagination. Lecture 11. Gender is a dial! Gender is not an either/or switch
