Bioethics in Healthcare

Bioethics in healthcare is the study of ethical issues related to medical practice, research, and policies. It helps guide decisions about patient care, consent, privacy, and resource allocation by considering moral principles like autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. Bioethics ensures that healthcare respects patients’ rights, promotes fairness, and balances the benefits and risks of treatments and experiments. It provides a framework for resolving complex dilemmas, such as end-of-life choices, genetic testing, and new medical technologies, aiming to improve trust, integrity, and ethical standards in healthcare delivery.
