Research in Medical and Health Care Ethics

Research in medical and health care ethics addresses substantive and value-related questions that arise in relation to medicine and our contemporary health care system. It addresses these questions using a variety of methods (conceptual and normative analyses, qualitative and quantitative socio-empirical methods, document and media analyses, clinical studies).

Examples:

  • Philosophy and ethics of care
  • Decision making in clinical medicine and at the end of life
  • Approaches of ethics support at different levels of the health care system
  • Ethical and anthropological issues of new (digital) technologies
  • Ethical and anthropological issues in neuroscience and its application (neuroethics).

Research in this area is coordinated by the Institute for Humanities in Medecine.
