TH335 Global Health Ethics: Sustainability and the Common Good3 credit(s)
The course introduces the recent issues and debates in bioethics as well as its evolution from traditional biomedical ethics into present-day global health ethics. In particular, the course engages theological ethics in promoting global health as an urgent good and right that is integral to a vision of just society and common good. Global health challenges are studied by highlighting international examples that help to identify the moral theological agenda and to implement it. Public health concerns and universal health coverage are part of this agenda worldwide. The course’s moral theological analyses and proposals rely on Judaeo-Christian insights - from social doctrine to philosophical and theological bioethical discourse. Extensive attention will be paid to the global health ethical framework endorsed by both the Church and the international organizations such as UNESCO and WHO, including principles such as human dignity, respect for cultural diversity, solidarity, sharing of benefits, and protection of future generations. Also offered as HH335 .
