Public Controversy on Bio-ethics

Introduction

Bioethics can be referred to as a field of study that is philosophical and addresses the ethical arguments as a result of advances in biology and medicine (Jonsen et al , 1998 . The ethical questions that are addressed by the bio ethicists are used in relation among life sciences biotechnology , medicine , politics , law , philosophy , and theology (James 2001 . The interdisciplinary field of bioethics was jump-started by the Nuremberg Code . This code was set up in to set standards for

judging physicians and scientists (McGee et al 2003 . These physicians and scientists were the one who had worked in concentration camp conducting biomedical experiments on the prisoners

The basic ethical principles that should rule biomedical and behavioural research on human subjects have been suggested to be drafted down . Guide lines that will ensure human rights and respect are upheld should also be included . The rules and guidelines also assist in resolving the ethical problems that surround research conducted on the human subjects . Principles that need to be addressed by the guidelines are : Justice , Beneficence and Respect for autonomy for the person Public health and health policy challenges and advancement in biotechnology has resulted to a fast-growing academic and professional area of inquiry in bioethics . Degree programs are currently being offered in various education institutions that do specialize in bioethics

The proper scope in bioethics is not certain . While some people feel that ethical evaluation of questions that revolve around biology and medicine should be narrowed down to the morality of medial treatments or technological advances , others feel different . The other groups are of the view that ethical evaluation should include morality of all actions that might help or harm organisms that can feel fear and pain . In addition , all such actions should be included in bioethics . This is because they may bear a relation to medicine and biology

The purpose of bio ethicists is to put to work the huge body of research and history of discussions about bioethics in a manner that is fair , honest and intelligent . Future social , ethical and economic implications . Bioethics as a field was as a result of public attention to ethical questions related to abuses of human subjects in biomedical experiments , HYPERLINK "http /www .eubios .info /betext .htm www .eubios .info /betext .htm . Bioethics as a field of study is said to be an appropriate way of ensuring human rights and morals are incorporated into the medicine and biological experiments . In this research , the issue of Genetically Modified Foods (GMOs ) will be discussed . The use of genetically modified organisms has raised public disagreement on whether the organisms should be produced for human consumption or not . The positive perspective of genetic organisms will first be discussed , and negative effects also . Both sides expose the controversy that surrounds this issue
