and Writing"

teach
reasoning and conceptual analysis of the kind found in the writings at www.garlikov.com,

2) "Intro Ethics" is a
general introduction
to the principles of ethics, based on the "Introduction
to Ethics" by moderator, Richard Garlikov. |

3) "Medical Ethics" is a moderated
discussion group
about ethical issues in medicine -- for physicians, nurses,
researchers,
students and others interested in health care issues. Led by
Richard
Garlikov, there will be academic instruction in general principles of
ethics
where that is necessary and appropiate to help the discussions be
meaningful
and productive. The purpose is to apply principles of moral philosophy
to real, practical, sometimes personally troubling, problems and
dilemmas
in medical practice and research in order to try to reach useful
results.
This is not, however, about legal advice regarding current laws
governing
clinical practice or research; for that you would need to consult with
a qualified attorney or IRB (Institutional Review Board). It is
strictly
about trying to determine through reason, experience, and moral
sensitivity
which actions and rules are both scientifically reasonable and morally
right, and what sorts of policies ought to be legally permitted,
required,
or prohibited whether they currently are or not. Visit this group to subscribe (free) |
