Ethical considerations in bioengineering research.

Biomedical science and engineering have made rapid advancements in the field of medicine over the past few decades. New ethical problems arising from this technology are influencing biomedical research more and more. It is disturbing that bioengineering professionals have had relatively little contact with moral and legal theory in light of these developments and particularly since they represent the forefront of new medical innovations. The objective of this communication is to introduce the study of bioethics and the use of principlism when examining bioengineering problems and dilemmas. Specific examples derived from actual proceedings, such as the Baltimore case, will alert scientists to the importance of misconduct in academic society. Cases will be used to illustrate how tools learned in this presentation are applied to analyze bioethical issues. New technology has a large social impact and is setting the standard of care for treatment. The health care system continually relies on researchers to produce improvements in patient therapy. Society will increasingly expect scientists to be morally responsible for the research they perform and uphold those virtues that ensure good ethical conduct.

Rich and poor: a paradigm of mutual co-existence?

The division of rich and poor in society is unavoidable. In the modern times, the power structure due to wealth is stronger in health care and in environmental projects. The bioethical problems in those areas due to this are discussed. The problem mostly stems from the sense of alienation in both segments of the society, the executor and the user. Some of the ways to minimize this alienation are discussed. Finally arguments have been put forward that the feeling of alienation towards the environment is the root cause for the present environmental degradation.
