Including Public Health Content in a Bioethics and Law Course: Vaccine Exemptions, Tort Liability, and Public Health

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 January 2021

Extract

Courses on bioethics and the law traditionally have focused their coverage on ethical issues arising from individual patients’ encounters with the medical care system, but the course also provides an excellent opportunity to expose students to ethical issues arising at the intersection of medical care and public health. The following materials were assembled for use near the end of a semester-long law school course in Bioethics & Law. I taught the course relying heavily on problems contained in Barry R. Furrow et al., Bioethics: Health Care Law and Ethics, 7th ed. (2013), which was the primary text for the course.
