Applied ethics examines ethical issues that arise within a wide range of contexts. It explores questions like: Is euthanasia ever acceptable? Is it ok to experiment on animals? What are our responsibilities over climate change? How can we make ethical decisions in business? What might constitute an ethical AI?

In this eight week module we will use moral philosophy frameworks to explore ethical issues, analysing the problems and critically evaluating various possible solutions.
