Bioethics education often includes the study of short stories, novels, plays, and films, because such materials present case examples that can highlight relevant issues and questions especially vividly for a wide range of students. In addition, creative writing is widely used in the education of health professional students and in continuing education settings for health professionals. There are very few academic or professional disciplines that do not use case studies, but the case study in dialogic form has not been standard practice for thousands of years. Dramatic arts casuistry-the creation and performance of short case studies designed specifically to raise bioethics issues for discussion-represents an application of literature and the medical humanities that is both unique and uniquely valuable. This essay describes the development and history of a course that has been successfully taught to medical students and graduate bioethics students, in which the class researches, writes, and performs a case study designed to elicit reflection and discussion about a topic and set of bioethics issues of current interest to both academic and general audiences. The model is also suited to the presentation and discussion of existing case studies, both live and via on-demand audio.
生物伦理学教育通常包括对短篇小说、小说、戏剧和电影的研究，因为这些材料所呈现的案例示例能够特别生动地为广大学生突出相关问题。此外，创意写作在健康专业学生的教育以及健康专业人员的继续教育中被广泛应用。很少有学术或专业学科不使用案例研究，但以对话形式呈现的案例研究并非数千年来的标准做法。戏剧艺术决疑法——专门为引发生物伦理学问题以供讨论而创作和表演的短篇案例研究——代表了文学和医学人文学科的一种独特且极具价值的应用。本文描述了一门已成功面向医学生和生物伦理学研究生授课的课程的发展历程，在该课程中，学生们进行研究、撰写并表演一个案例研究，旨在引发对某个主题以及一系列当前学术界和普通大众都感兴趣的生物伦理学问题的思考和讨论。该模式也适用于现场以及按需音频形式对现有案例研究的展示和讨论。
