Primarily dealing with the process of recent advances in regenerative medicine, this course will focus on the interweaving of ethics, business, and science in recent issues and news (e.g. face transplants, Prop 71, FDA regulations, the stress-induced stem cell hoax, organ transplants, clinical trials of lab grown organs) and the practical applications of those interweavings on the students' future careers. The course will also cover the common ethical frameworks, emerging economic factors, and considerations of both donor consent and donor rights.
