Lesson Description
Students at the University of Oregon learn how bioethics can bring some ease to difficult situations that occur in hospitals everyday. From the philosophy classroom to the hospital (PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend, Springfield, Oregon) Professor Nicolae Morar and John Holmes (Director of Ethics for PeaceHealth) present students with some of life’s most difficult questions.
Would it drive you crazy to hear your mechanical heart valve? How would witnessing open-heart surgery change your definition of being alive? Does quality of life affect the desire to be alive?
