Spring semester CSEP Journal Club meetings
The Center for the Study of Ethics in the Professions has announced the schedule and topics for its bi-weekly journal club meetings. All meetings will be held on Wednesdays in 205 Hermann Hall at 11:25 a.m.
In the first half of the semester, the group will examine the relationships between three foundational issues in bioethics, which include the aims of bioethics, the methods of bioethics, and ownership of (i.e., who should have the final say in) bioethics.
The second half of the semester will begin with an article on two major question at the boundary of bioethics and disability studies: What is the difference between normal and abnormal functioning, and what is the
distinction between medical treatment and enhancement? The club will then discuss two issues to which these major questions can be applied: addiction and ADHD.
The reading schedule is as follows:
- 2/3: Jeremy Garrett, “Two Agendas for Bioethics: Critique and Integration”
- 2/17: Ethical Case Deliberation on the Ward: A Comparison of Four Methods
- 3/2: Jonathan Moreno, “Deciding Together: Bioethics and Moral Consensus”
- 3/23: Norman Daniels, “Normal Functioning and the Treatment-Enhancement Distinction”
- 4/6: Hall, Carter, and Morley, “Addiction, Neuroscience, and Ethics”
- 4/20: Ilina Singh, “Beyond Polemics: Science and Ethics of ADHD” (2008).
