Welcome to the Wikiversity Department of Bioethics.
Bioethics utilizes ethical theories in philosophy in order to approach some of the ethical dilemmas in contemporary clinical medicine, as well as various question relating to life itself and the structure of the biological sciences. Major ethical systems - Kantian, utilitarian, virtue-centered, and care-oriented - all impact on contemporary bioethical discourse. Questions asked by bioethicists relate to the meaning and value of living organisms, the question of biological reductionism, the possibility of the mind and soul dualism, open questions in medical practices, environmental philosophy and the nature of human biological inquires.
This Department is a content development project where participants create, organize and develop learning resources related to bioethics.
The "topic" namespace contains pages that are for management and organization of small academic units at Wikiversity such as departments (see: Wikiversity:Topics).

[edit] Learning projects
See: Learning Projects and the Wikiversity:Learning model.
Learning materials and learning projects are located in the main Wikiversity namespace. Simply make a link to the name of the learning project (learning projects are independent pages in the main namespace) and start writing! We suggest the use of the learning project template (use "subst:Learning project boilerplate" on the new page, inside the double curved brackets {{}}).
Learning materials and learning projects can be used by multiple departments. Cooperate with other departments that use the same learning resource.
Remember, Wikiversity has adopted the "learning by doing" model for education. Lessons should center on learning activities for Wikiversity participants. We learn by doing.
Select a descriptive name for each learning project.
