Jewish Bioethics in Theory and Practice
Zoom
This course will introduce participants to contemporary bioethics through a Jewish lens. We will explore Jewish involvement in the development of bioethics as a field, and how secular and Jewish religious values may relate in consideration of health and medical practices. We will focus on specific topics in Jewish bioethics such as circumcision, childbirth, and end-of-life care.
About Katz Center Mini-Courses
Mini-courses examine special topics in Judaic studies in a setting comparable to a college seminar, taught by Penn and international faculty to adult learners online. They are designed to be cumulative and interactive, so registration is for the entire course, not individual dates. Participants convene over Zoom Meeting (not Webinar) to learn and discuss.
Enrollment is limited and first-come, first-served. Please contact Dajana Denes Walters with any questions and, once registered, please watch for emails from her regarding course details.
