生物伦理学是分析医学和科学技术发展提出的伦理问题的领域。它在临床背景和健康政策中都研究了这些问题。著名的生物伦理学主题包括流产，安乐死和干细胞研究。但是，随着生物技术的飞速发展，该领域的研究领域在最近几十年有了显着增长。最新的生物伦理学研究涉及遗传学，神经科学，公共卫生和生物医学领域的各个新兴领域。圣路易斯大学的生物伦理学和健康研究专业为学生提供了了解这些发展的工具。它是通过跨学科的课程来实现的，该课程将人文学科与社会科学融合在一起。该课程将这种整体教育与医疗环境中独特的服务学习机会结合在一起，并设计了一
Saint Louis University's bioethics and health studies major asks students to analyze the ethical questions raised by advances in medical and scientific technology. It examines these questions both in the clinical context and in health policy. Well-known bioethical topics include abortion, euthanasia and stem cell research. But the field's area of study has grown dramatically in recent decades in keeping with the rapid pace of biotechnological advances. More recent bioethical work addresses developments in genetics, neuroscience, public health and various emerging fields in the biomedical sciences.<br><br>SLU's bioethics and health studies major gives students the tools to understand these developments. It does so through an interdisciplinary curriculum that fuses the humanities with the social sciences. It pairs this holistic education with unique service-learning opportunities in health care settings and a capstone project designed to guide students in their transitions to careers in health care.
