Medical ethics is the study of ethics in the context of modern medical practices, medical personnel, technologies, and institutions. The study of medical ethics is indispensable for training ethically informed professionals in a variety of medical fields. • In this course we will utilize a case-study approach in order to explore the personal, historical, legal, economic, and political dimensions of medical ethical issues. • Lectures will be given on normative ethical theory and Rawlsian, Marxist, and Libertarian theories of justice in order to facilitate informed discussion. Collaborative learning and class participation will be of vital importance in this class.
This course explores ethical decision-making in healthcare. Students will learn basic concepts, principles and methods in moral reasoning and apply them to issues in health care and medicine. Particular attention will be given to the contributions of the Western, Judeo-Christian tradition in medical ethics, although class discussion will welcome perspectives from other religious traditions and cultures as well. Case studies are used in order to explore the adequacy of principles and methods. A variety of bioethical issues will be discussed, including analyses of particular technological advances as well as the just distribution of health care. This course satisfies the Ethics & Values requirement in the SAS New Core Curriculum. Goals of the Course: • This course will equip students with strategies for ethical thinking and decision-making in an evolving, complex, global healthcare system. • Students will apply ethical principles to a broad range of issues in medical practices, particularly in the context of future professionalization. • Students will become increasingly aware of contemporary and emergent ethical issues in medicine and healthcare and address critically the complexity of these issues. • Students will be able to analyze and assess issues in healthcare and medicine from an ethical vantage point as well as communicate this in a clear and pedagogically sound way.
MEDICAL ETHICS AT THE DAWN OF THE 21ST CENTURY Edited by Raphael Cohen-Almagor (New York: New York Academy of Sciences, 2000), Vol. 913 of the Annals, 265 pp. Do humans have a right to tamper with the divinely mandated processes of life and death or are they entitled to exercise control in this area to achieve a world of their own design? Questions concerning the role of doctors, abortion, mercy killings, and genetics are troubling and highly problematic, requiring thorough examination and careful probing. Medical Ethics at the Dawn of the 21st Century, (Vol.913 of the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences), offers an overview of some of the pressing themes in medical ethics. Its design is both interdisciplinary and comparative, offering philosophical, legal, and medical perspectives of scholars from North America, Europe, and Israel who analyze how their respective countries try to cope with and find answers for pressing concerns. “People are living longer lives,” said Raphael Cohen-Almagor, the book’s editor. “Medicine is able to monitor and control endemic diseases that in the past caused rapid death, but the process of dying from diseases such as cancer and AIDS is long, painful, and very costly.” Cohen-Almagor noted that the book looks at the questions that arise as to appropriate deployment and allocation of expensive resources and the criteria that must be employed when treatment is limited because society is unable to withstand the cost. The essays revolve around three main themes: appropriate roles for doctors, decisions at the beginning and end of life, and medical ethics in the age of biotechnology. They consider the philosophical difficulties inherent in the concepts of medical ethics and also practical judicial problems.

A combination of moral principles and values that are applied to take judgements in medical education, practice, and research are termed as medical ethics. There have been other many traditional medical ethics guidelines brought about by Muslim Ishaq ibn Ali al-ruhawi wrote “the Conduct of physicians”, Jewish and Catholic scholastic thinkers over time. Ethics in modern medicine started way back in 18 century when Thomas Percival, a physician based in England, wrote a book on medical ethics and coined the terminology of medical ethics and medical jurisprudence. The medical profession should be viewed differently and a rethought on the ethical practices is the need of hour to make it an exciting and fulilling profession. A rethink on the status of modern medicine will certainly pave the way for obtaining speciic answers for many dilemmas in modern medicine including the best ethical codes and practices

He delineated seven broad issues that could be taken up for discussion in the next two days. These included areas such as doctors ethical responsibilities towards patients towards fellow doctors, to the society in general; ethical code to be followed by health researchers; ethical code for drug companies; issues in health education; and health policy making.

Good and not so good medical ethics2015 •
In this paper, I provide a brief sketch of the purposes that medical ethics serves and what makes for good medical ethics. Medical ethics can guide clinical practice and biomedical research, contribute to the education of clinicians, advance thinking in the field, and direct healthcare policy. Although these are distinct activities, they are alike in several critical respects. Good medical ethics is coherent, illuminating, accurate, reasonable, consistent, informed, and measured. After this overview, I provide specific examples to illustrate some of the ways in which medical ethics could go wrong as a caution and a reminder that taking on the role of an ethicist involves serious responsibilities that must be exercised with care.

Ropotamo: an Early Bronze Age pile-dwelling on the Western Black Sea coast2024 •
Abstract: Ropotamo is a multi-period archaeological site located on the southern Bulgarian Black Sea coast, in a small bay where the Ropotamo River flows into the sea. Due to the unique natural habitat, the site has preserved the stratigraphy left by millennia of human activity in the bay. In 2017, underwater excavations were launched as part of the international Black Sea Maritime Archaeology Project (Black Sea MAP). Over the following seasons to 2020, four trenches were excavated. Documentation was primarily done with a multi-camera rig for high-resolution digital photogrammetry, and interdisciplinary analyses were carried out. At depths between 1.5 and 2.0 m below seabed, artefacts from the Early Bronze Age were discovered: pottery, flint, stone, bone tools and wooden piles of structures. Detailed analysis of the stratigraphy shows that when the sea level was c. 6 m lower than the present one, a pile-dwelling settlement was established. The structures were raised on posts near or on a calm freshwater environment such as a river or a lagoon. Radiocarbon dates the site to the very end of the fourth millennium BC. The settlement’s inhabitants relied more on hunting than husbandry and were forced to make repairs as the sea level rose, until they eventually abandoned the site.
