, INTRODUCTION
Many reviewers of this text said they wanted certain kinds of supplemental material. This
manual tries to supply it. The text’s existing pedagogy is already more substantial than
that of other books of this kind. It includes the following:
Brief synopses of each reading
End-of-chapter summaries
End-of-chapter cases for evaluation (actual news stories)
Sections that examine classic cases in bioethics
A bibliography for each ethical issue
End-of-chapter lists of key terms
A variety of text boxes adding background information, illustrations, and analyses
Sections demonstrating how the major moral theories can be applied to the issues
This manual supplements these aids with the following:
A set of essay questions for each reading
A bank of test questions (multiple choice and true/false) for each chapter
Sample syllabi/course schedules
A chapter-by-chapter list of key terms
Useful web links
The test questions as well as the essay questions should be especially helpful. The
test questions are designed as chapter quizzes but will work equally well as study
questions. The essay questions for each reading can also be used as a short quiz or as
additional study questions. They can even be merged into a larger bank and used to test
the students’ grasp of a whole chapter.
, SAMPLE SYLLABI/COURSE SCHEDULES
Although this text can accommodate a variety of course designs and teaching styles, a
majority of teachers are likely to fit their plans into one of two broad approaches. The
option probably used by most is to begin the course with substantial introductory material
(intro to ethics and bioethics, moral principles and theories, moral reasoning, etc.) and
then turn to a half dozen or more major bioethical issues and their accompanying cases.
The text supports this approach by showing in later chapters how the introductory
concepts apply to each issue examined. Some teachers will prefer to devote only one
week to this initial groundwork; others will take up to three weeks. The material in this
text’s two introductory chapters can easily fill either time frame. The second approach is
to provide a much briefer introduction to bioethics and quickly plunge into a larger set of
issues and cases.
With either option, the text offers pedagogical features that can add depth and breadth to
the coverage of issues: presentations of classic cases, sets of newsworthy cases for
evaluation, suggestions for further reading, chapter summaries, and a variety of text
boxes that give additional background on the issues (legal, medical, scientific, statistical,
and social).
Here’s how these two basic approaches could be mapped out.
Sample 1: A course with a substantial introduction.
Week Topic
1 Introduction to ethics and bioethics, ethical relativism,
ethics and religion
2 Moral principles in bioethics, critical thinking, moral
arguments
3 Moral theories, utilitarianism, Kantian ethics, natural
law theory, Rawls’ theory, virtue ethics, the ethics of
care, feminist ethics
4 Paternalism, patient autonomy, truth-telling
5 Confidentiality, informed consent
6 Euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide
7 Abortion
8 Reproductive technology, cloning
9 Surrogacy
10 Genetic choice, genetic testing
11 Gene therapy, stem cells
12 Research ethics
13 Research ethics
14 Justice in health care, right to health care
15 Resource allocation, rationing
