Controversial Issues Project
The world of medicine, medical research and development, as well as the human genome project has had a great impact on the medical field. Such change has brought along with it many personal and social concerns leading to vastly differing viewpoints across the globe.
The Controversial Issues Project was adopted in 2007 to analyze and present the educational information at the intersection of Medicine, Law, and ethics. This initiative works in the following directions:
- Legal help available to patients
- The legal aspects and controversies of clinical investigation and human experimentation
- Medical malpractice and patient rights
Project Update
Work done under this project are included into mainly two sections: Law and Medicine that includes various legal aspects of the practice of medicine and the legal help available to consumers; and the Health and Ethics Section that includes the moral and ethical complexities of medicine and practice of medicine.
