Question

4. What bioethics questions that we have not discussed this semester do you find most interesting? Research one of these questions in depth and discuss in your presentation applying medical ethics principles (principles of the Normative Basis).

Answer 1

Bioethics refers to the concern which lies on whether to accept a new research or invention which is ethically dilemmatic.

Genetic research has been a topic of concern all time.Though it can bring an end to some of the chronic diseases which was not curable now in the future ,it has led to the fear of misusing for personal benefits or for monetary gains .One such research is the designer baby .This though can help in delivering a healthy baby free if genetic disease, it can be misused by making a baby with prefered characters,genes,sex ,etc., as per the wish of parents or for research purposes.This can affect the autonomy of an unborn foetus before birth against nature.

The others being euthanasia applied on the non maleficience medical ethic principle as way of doing it for the best interest of the patient. Organ donation has been in conflicts for beneficience  and non maleficience in general.
