Course “From Birth to Death"
7 February - 3 April
In collaboration with Ateneu Barcelonès we are organizing a course titled “Del nacer al morir” [From Birth to Death]. This five-session course aims to provide a survey of bioethical concerns associated with the different stages of life. These issues not only pose challenges to our society but also to our individual ethical values.
We invite you to engage in reflective bioethical discussion covering the continuum from reproduction to the end of life, delving into topics including the mental health of young people and ageing. This course will involve diverse formats that will encourage interaction among participants.
