Bioethics presents us rapidly advancing humans with moral guidelines as to what pushes the boundaries too far. These guidelines act as an anchor, which stops us from getting out of control, keeping us in perspective. I think it’s easy to disconnect from certain questionable experiments or situations that are occurring in our world, or excuse them by saying, “It’s for science.” It’s counterproductive to be creating all of this technology to improve upon our lives if we have to degrade certain people or animals in the process. I feel that the times in anyone’s lives that they are more likely to ignore their own moral codes, are when it’s in their best interest, or when they have extra pressures on them for any number of reasons. The statements that make up the general opinion about bioethics are not affected by emotions or pressure. They remain unbiased as a concrete division between right and wrong. It’s important to create a document such as the Declaration of Bioethics, which was made by many different individuals bringing all of their conflicting opinions and ideas and coming to conclusions about what falls within the realm of humanity. Bioethics are simply tools to keep our heads screwed on straight and to not get so lost and crazed in the race to advance.
