Real World Connect™
Untitled by Lauren Voiers, eXpressions™ Art 2008
In collaboration with the Department of Bioethics, this newly created distance learning course was designed for middle and high school students to study some of today’s most prevalent issues in bioethics - the use of animals for food and research, obligations to help the hungry, euthanasia, reproductive ethics, stem cell research and cloning. Each topic includes two influential articles that defends the moral rightness and the moral wrongness of an action, procedure, or policy. Bioethics professionals will conduct a short lecture covering the important aspects and moral issues of the topics followed by an interactive discussion. Students are required to read the assigned articles before each session. Quiz/test materials are available upon teacher request. As a final project, students, individually or as a team, will create a poster that evaluates ethical issues related to a research project conducted by Cleveland Clinic summer interns through myRESEARCH™ or mRi™: myRESEARCH illuminated. Finished posters will be submitted for a juried competition. The winning student or team will present their poster at Bioethics Research Day during Bioethics Week in late spring.
The following articles are required, but will not be discussed during class sessions. The purpose of these articles is to help students understand some of the issues that arise in medical research. The articles should be read as preparation for the final project. Both can be found at: http://plato.stanford.edu.
