Chad Wayner was FANTASTIC! This class really makes you think. There are 3 papers for the semester. It was interesting, but there is a lot to know.

I would recommend this class to anyone, regardless of their intended field of study. With all that is going on in the world right now, it just gives you a good background in bioethics. The films were very good, as were the guest lecturers.

This class was awesome. Definitely my favorite class at UVA so far. Childress gives you lecture outlines, the 3 2-page papers you write for your discussion sections are on topics you choose and are interested in liek abortion and stem cell research, and most Fridays are movie days. This class is incredibly interesting and absolutely worthwhile.

I really enjoyed this class. It's the base class for a bioethics minor and very interesting as just that: an introduction the world of bioethics. Professor Childress is a very knowledgable professor... he literally wrote the book on bioethics. The tests were very fair and the two short papers that we had to write were pretty easy.

Interesting topics, every Friday is a movie day, and the movies are usually interesting. Childress is an interesting lecturer, but he has a rather soothing voice that made me sleepy sometimes.
