LAWS3150 Bioethics and the Law
Australian law regulates scientific techniques used in bioethics. Laws regulating provision of medical techniques inevitably raise complex and controversial questions about societal and ethical values. Students will be required to critically examine ethical theories and principles, case law, statutes, treaties, and the perspective of the Catholic Intellectual Tradition, and to consider whether the ethical stance represented in such law requires law reform.
