Last Updated: 11-Jan-2016

A guide to resources for PWR 1ST: The Rhetoric of Biomedical Ethics.
When does life begin? When should it end? What is the role of medicine, and how should humans practice it? How should we approach this science? How should we teach it? What should the medicine strive to accomplish—and what shouldn't it? These are some of the core questions of biomedicine, the study of human healthcare and science.
