Ethical discussions in an undergraduate tissue engineering course: 2nd joint conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society and the Biomedical Engineering Society

In a tissue engineering (TE) course, a discussion of ethics can provide a unique insight for the student. At Saint Louis University, ethics is part of the core curriculum, and in the TE course we take advantage of the student's prior exposure to ethics to discuss issues arising in TE and medicine in general. Because of their previous exposure to ethical theory, most students can discuss ethics from a variety of perspectives including deontological, utilitarian, natural law, and theological perspectives. The intended outcome of the discussions is the establishment of a set of ethical guidelines applicable to the course project.
