Bioethics is the study of the ethical and moral implications of new technical discoveries, biomedical advances, and medical practice. As such, it addresses basic issues of respect and dignity for human beings. Life dilemmas in areas such as science laboratories where life can be created, and hospitals where dead can be kept “alive” or euthanasia can occur, are some of the topics bioethics deals with. This course will contribute to an increasingly wide global debate about human rights.

Martha Hamill de Correa is a Mexican Canadian. She was a professor of bioethics at the Universidad Anáhuac and has served on the Board of the Mexican Association of Thanatology. Her published works include the book Tanatologia y Bioética ante el Sufrimento Humano. In San Miguel she is Vice President of the Red Cross, a member of the Bioethics Committee at the Hospital General, President of the San Miguel hospice organization Mitigare, and heads a bereavement group at St. Paul’s Church. She is a frequent lecturer on bioethics and thanatology at universities across Mexico.
