Medical technology often saves or improves life. but it can also harm or end life. Is there a moral obligation to use technology? Should there be limits to when or how we use medical technology? How can we develop a meaningful stance toward technology? Answering these questions requires careful analysis. This class explores the history of medical technology, the goals of its creators, and the expectations of its users. It also helps students identify and assess potential benefits and harm to better evaluate treatment choices.
