Bioethics is a field of study that focuses on ethical issues arising in the fields of biology and medicine. It involves examining the moral implications of advancements in science and technology, such as genetic engineering, stem cell research, and assisted reproductive technologies. Bioethicists explore questions related to patient autonomy, informed consent, end-of-life care, and the allocation of healthcare resources. The goal of bioethics is to provide ethical guidance and facilitate informed decision-making in healthcare policy and practice.
