In 500 words minimum and 600 words maximum, describe in your own words what is meant by an understanding of bodies as more than biological (cultural\/social, medical, and\/or political). Offer two examples from class readings or discussions to demonstrate this idea (reminder: you may use two examples from readings or one from readings and one from discussion, but not two from discussion). Then, locate in your example at least one health-related ethical\/moral issue. Identify the issue, and explain why it is an ethical\/moral one. Use at least one analytical concept from class readings and discussions (like “local moral worlds” or “ethical variability”) in your answer.<\/p>\n
