A Short Note on Bioethics

Morgan Matthews

Bioethics is the study of moral issues that arise as a result of breakthroughs in biology, medicine, and technology. It suggests a conversation in society about moral discernment, which is frequently linked to medical practices and policies, but also to broader issues such as the environment and well-being. Bioethics is concerned with the ethical issues that occur when life sciences, biotechnology, medicine, politics, law, theology, and philosophy come together. It covers primary care, other disciplines of medicine ("the ethics of the ordinary"), ethical education in science, animal, and environmental ethics, among other topics. Bioethics is sometimes claimed as a new ethic to answer complex concerns of current society. Ethics also applies to many other studies outside the field of biological sciences.
