HEYTHROP COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON MA Contemporary Ethics - 1 year full-time. 2 years part-time (evenings) This degree may be of special interest to teachers, ministers of religion, those whose occupation requires ethical reflection, particularly public and social service professionals, and those who simply are interested in exploring a range of issues related to moral life. This timely and challenging programme explores questions such as ‘what is the good life?’; ‘how should we act?’; ‘how do we assess difficult moral situations?’; ‘what does moral living require of us, both in terms of who we are as human beings and as professionals?’ In searching for answers, you will be introduced to different schools of ethics; you will learn how to articulate new ethical dilemmas and formulate coherent moral arguments, and you will examine how to apply Western Christian insights and ethical values to all aspects of life. By comparing and analysing different viewpoints and arguments advanced by moral theologians and philosophers, the module will provide students with an up-to-date understanding of current ethical and theological debates surrounding bioethical questions. It is thus designed to encourage students to think critically and apply principles of moral theology to topical issues in the sphere of bioethics, such physician-assisted suicide, cloning genetic modifications of humans and animals, pre-implantation testing and the creation of saviour siblings, homosexuality and human behaviour affecting climate change. Lectures promoting active engagement in discussions keep pace with the latest developments in the expanding field of bioethics, with news one day about human-animal hybrids and the next day about search for life on other planets and questions about creation and evolution.
