Full week course on Bioethics and Film

Looking at Bioethics through the Lens of Both American and Spanish Films

University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), Donostia – San Sebastian, March 11-16, 2012

This is the first time we host this international program in collaboration with Case Western Reserve University. Taught by faculty from CWRU and UPV/EHU this course offers students a cross-cultural perspective on bioethics in the United States and Spain. This course uses the medium of film, complemented by readings in bioethics, film criticism, and medical research, to introduce students to a number of compelling bioethics issues.

Attendance to San Sebastian activities free of charge for IAS-Research members, UPV/EHU researchers and “Filosofía, Ciencia y Valores / Filosofia, Zientzia eta Balioak” master students.
