401PC Biological And Ethical Issues In Aging (3)
This course is designed to provide both a disciplinary and in
interdisciplinary study of the biological, philosophical, and
ethical foundations and principles underlying the phenomenon of
aging on an individual and societal level. Various
physiological, neurological, anatomical, and psychological
processes and changes characteristic of the development
occurring during the aging process will be studied, and
discussed. The philosophical and specifically ethical issues
associated traditionally with aging will be re-examined and
analyzed in terms of scientific, technological, cultural,
sociological, economic, and legal changes in knowledge and
attitudes.
