DESCRIPTION:This online class will take place on Thursdays\, January 8\, 15\, 22\, and 29\, 2026\, 3:30-5:30 p.m.\, via Zoom\, with Tom Evans.\nStudents in this course should come away with options for a reason-based framework for considering the ethical decisions involved in medicine\, whether as patients\, caregivers\, or citizens. \nThe course will be giving in four sessions\, each two hours long\, covering the following topics:\n● Session 1 – Ethics 101 (Is medicine a special case in ethics?)\n● Session 2 – Keeping Secrets (Issues of privacy and confidentiality.)\n● Session 3 – Birth and Death (Birth control\, abortion\, and end-of-life care.)\n● Session 4 – Money\, Science\, and Politics (Global health\, bioethics\, transplants\, and triage.) \nRequirements:  The course will consist of slide-based mini-lectures followed by guided discussion. The slides should be posted at least a week before the lecture. Slides will contain links to optional web-based readings. \nAbout the Instructor: As a child\, Tom Evans spent his summers with his grandparents in Michigan’s UP. He attended Cass Tech High School in Detroit. He has degrees from the University of Michigan and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He retired as an associate professor in the Department of Language and Literature at North Carolina Central University in Durham. He taught Ethics at North Carolina Central University for more than 10 years. He has also taught a previous Fe University course\, Ethics: The Examined Life. “I am looking forward to the discussions in which we will all be students together\,” he notes. \nWe recommend signing up at least two weeks ahead of class to ensure class fills and to prevent cancellation. \nRegister by Dec. 25\, 2025\, to get a $5 Early Bird discount off the regular registration price of $45! \nInstructor: Tom Evans \nOffline Registration: Download PDF Registration Form\, complete and mail in with payment. \nRegistration Questions? Contact us or call (715) 862-2032 or (715) 476-2881. \nRegistration Issues/Troubleshooting: If you are registering with one email address for two or more people\, please register each person individually (i.e. do not register all at once\, but add students one at a time to checkout). If you continue to have difficulty or have another question\, please contact us. \nCourse Cancellations: Students are encouraged to register at least 2 weeks before the beginning of any Fe University course.
