What is Bioethics

Bioethics is the reflection of issues in medicine, life sciences and health policy. It is also the decision making whether a procedure or advancement should be allowed or not. Bioethics are influential in everyday life, from questioning whether abortion is legal, to if the surgery you require is morally right to perform. Bioethics regard everyone and everything and gives them rights medically speaking.

The General Conference of UNESCO has written and published a text regarding the ethics of certain procedures in  “medicine, life sciences and associated technologies” that describe a set of rules and situations that are meant to preserve life in general.  The rules they created are centered in helping humans by giving them medical rights, including everyone being equal. It generally states how medical issues should be handled and what is ethically correct when regarding another person.
