Introduction to bioethics: first part

Bioethics is both a field of study and professional practice, interested in ethical issues related to health (primarily focused on the human, but also increasingly includes animal ethics), including those emerging from advances in biology, medicine, and technologies. It proposes the discussion about moral discernment in society (what decisions are “good” or “bad” and why) and it is often related to medical policy and practice, but also to broader questions as environment, well-being and public health.
