Ethics in Research

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Ethics is a set of moral principles of ‘what is right?' and ‘what is wrong?' or, in simple words, ‘what is good and what is bad?' When the same principles are applied to medicine, the subject is called medical ethics. It is expected that a doctor should act in a particular way and follow certain rules. Medical ethics are professional standards for physicians. Bioethics is a branch of medical ethics and deals with complex issues like euthanasia, transplant medicine, genetic medicine, assisted reproduction therapy, human cloning, and medical genomics. Medical ethics and bioethics concepts are guides for physicians and to ensure patient safety.
