<h5>Why I teach</h5>
<p> When I teach my bioethics class, I learn along with my students.&nbsp; Medical technology has developed so rapidly that what was once the stuff of science fiction can become the standard of care in a short period of time. Understanding how new technologies are handled by our legal system helps students hone their analytical and policy skills.&nbsp; For example, technology can allow families to be created, genetic codes to be unraveled, organs to be transplanted and life itself extended, but these developments also raise questions about access to care, allocation of resources, privacy, confidentiality and fundamental rights.&nbsp; It is tremendously rewarding to watch students develop the skills to analyze these issues.</p>
