Fundamental principles of bioethics (autonomy, beneficence, justice, and maleficence) and major ethical frameworks will be used in examining ethical situations and decision making around issues such as end of life, genetics, resource allocations, physician-assisted suicide, reproduction, organ procurement and transplantations.
