Health Care Ethics, Minor
¶¶Òõpro's minor in health care ethics allows students to examine some of the ethical questions that arise in the complex health care system.
SLU students will discuss the definition of death, how to allocate donated organs, what is considered a disease and when to withdraw life-sustaining treatment.
