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. Prerequisites: Biology 102 or equivalent. This course is also cross-listed as NAT-SCI 430PC.
