I. Objectives:
To learn what is the meaning of the Bioethics.
To know the controversial ethical issues emerging from new situations and possibilities
brought about by advances in biology, medicine, etc.
To be able to understand and analyze Bioethics
To learn the timeline of bioethics
II. Definition of Terms:
1.) Bioethics-is the study of the typically controversial ethical issues emerging from new
situations and possibilities brought about by advances in biology and medicine.
2.) Partial Birth Abortion- Act-Under this law, any physician who, in or affecting
interstate or foreign commerce, knowingly performs a partial-birth abortion and thereby
kills a human fetus shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or
both."
3). Right to Die is an ethical or institutional entitlement of any individual to
commit suicide or to undergo voluntary euthanasia.
4.) Defense of Abortion-is a moral philosophy paper by Judith Jarvis Thomson first
published in 1971. Granting for the sake of argument that the fetus has a right to life,
Thomson uses thought experiments to argue that the pregnant woman's right to control
her own body and its life-support functions trumps the fetus' right to life, and that
induced abortion is therefore morally permissible.
5.) .Human Genome- is the complete set of genetic information for humans (Homo
sapiens sapiens). This information is encoded asDNA sequences within the
23 chromosome pairs in cell nuclei and in a small DNA molecule found within
individual mitochondria.
III. Discussion
Bioethics is the study of the typically controversial ethical issues emerging from new
situations and possibilities brought about by advances in biology and medicine. It is also
moral discernment as it relates to medical policy, practice, and research. Bioethicists are
concerned with the ethical questions that arise in the relationships among life sciences,
biotechnology, medicine, politics, law, and philosophy. It also includes the study of the
more commonplace questions of values ("the ethics of the ordinary") which arise in
primary care and other branches of medicine.

 Bioethics involves issues relating to the beginning and end of human life, all the way
from issues relating to in-vitro fertilisation and abortion to euthanasia and palliative care.
Bioethics has an impact on every level of human community from the local nursing home
to the huge international conferences on issues like the Human Genome. Bioethics is a
branch of "applied ethics" and requires the expertise of people working in a wide range
disciplines including: law, philosophy, theology, medicine, the life sciences, nursing and
social science. Bioethics is full of difficult ethical questions for everybody: families,
hospitals, governments and civilisation. Fundamental values are at stake: human life, the
dignity of the frail and elderly, just healthcare, bodily integrity and the ability to make
reasonable decisions.
TIMELINE OF BIOETHICS
1968 Harvard University recommends brain death standards for organ transplantation.
1971 Judith Jarvis writes A Defense of Abortion, an influential essay which defends
abortion even while assuming the personhood of the unborn.
1972 Details of the Depression--era Tuskegee Syphilis Study, one of the greatest ethical
breaches of trust between physicians and patients in a U.S. clinical study, are brought to
light.
1973 The Roe vs. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision allows unrestricted access to
abortion before viability.
1976 By a ruling of the New Jersey Supreme Court, Karen Ann Quinlan is taken off life
support. Hers is the first major right to die case involving persistent vegetative state
(PVS). She lived for 9 years after being removed from life support.
1978 Louise Joy Brown, the first test tube baby, is born.
1981 AIDS is first reported in the U.S.
1996 Dolly the sheep, the first cloned mammal, is born.
2001 President Bush permits limited government funding of embryonic stem cell
research, using only embryos that had already been destroyed.
2003 The Human Genome Project is completed, marking the first complete draft of the
sequence of human DNA.
2003 The Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, a federal ban of intact dilation and extraction as
an abortion procedure, is passed.
2007 The U.S. Supreme Court upholds the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act.

I. Objectives:
To learn what is the meaning of the Bioethics.
To know the controversial ethical issues emerging from new situations and possibilities
brought about by advances in biology, medicine, etc.
To be able to understand and analyze Bioethics
To learn the timeline of bioethics
II. Definition of Terms:
1.) Bioethics-is the study of the typically controversial ethical issues emerging from new
situations and possibilities brought about by advances in biology and medicine.
2.) Partial Birth Abortion- Act-Under this law, any physician who, in or affecting
interstate or foreign commerce, knowingly performs a partial-birth abortion and thereby
kills a human fetus shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or
both."
3). Right to Die is an ethical or institutional entitlement of any individual to
commit suicide or to undergo voluntary euthanasia.

 4.) Defense of Abortion-is a moral philosophy paper by Judith Jarvis Thomson first
published in 1971. Granting for the sake of argument that the fetus has a right to life,
Thomson uses thought experiments to argue that the pregnant woman's right to control
her own body and its life-support functions trumps the fetus' right to life, and that
induced abortion is therefore morally permissible.
5.) .Human Genome- is the complete set of genetic information for humans (Homo
sapiens sapiens). This information is encoded asDNA sequences within the
23 chromosome pairs in cell nuclei and in a small DNA molecule found within
individual mitochondria.
III. Discussion
Bioethics is the study of the typically controversial ethical issues emerging from new
situations and possibilities brought about by advances in biology and medicine. It is also
moral discernment as it relates to medical policy, practice, and research. Bioethicists are
concerned with the ethical questions that arise in the relationships among life sciences,
biotechnology, medicine, politics, law, and philosophy. It also includes the study of the
more commonplace questions of values ("the ethics of the ordinary") which arise in
primary care and other branches of medicine.
Bioethics involves issues relating to the beginning and end of human life, all the way
from issues relating to in-vitro fertilisation and abortion to euthanasia and palliative care.
Bioethics has an impact on every level of human community from the local nursing home
to the huge international conferences on issues like the Human Genome. Bioethics is a
branch of "applied ethics" and requires the expertise of people working in a wide range
disciplines including: law, philosophy, theology, medicine, the life sciences, nursing and
social science. Bioethics is full of difficult ethical questions for everybody: families,
hospitals, governments and civilisation. Fundamental values are at stake: human life, the
dignity of the frail and elderly, just healthcare, bodily integrity and the ability to make
reasonable decisions.
TIMELINE OF BIOETHICS
1968 Harvard University recommends brain death standards for organ transplantation.
1971 Judith Jarvis writes A Defense of Abortion, an influential essay which defends
abortion even while assuming the personhood of the unborn.
1972 Details of the Depression--era Tuskegee Syphilis Study, one of the greatest ethical
breaches of trust between physicians and patients in a U.S. clinical study, are brought to
light.
1973 The Roe vs. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision allows unrestricted access to
abortion before viability.
1976 By a ruling of the New Jersey Supreme Court, Karen Ann Quinlan is taken off life
support. Hers is the first major right to die case involving persistent vegetative state
(PVS). She lived for 9 years after being removed from life support.
1978 Louise Joy Brown, the first test tube baby, is born.
1981 AIDS is first reported in the U.S.
1996 Dolly the sheep, the first cloned mammal, is born.

 2001 President Bush permits limited government funding of embryonic stem cell
research, using only embryos that had already been destroyed.
2003 The Human Genome Project is completed, marking the first complete draft of the
sequence of human DNA.
2003 The Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, a federal ban of intact dilation and extraction as
an abortion procedure, is passed.
2007 The U.S. Supreme Court upholds the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act.

I. Objectives:
To learn what is the meaning of the Bioethics.
To know the controversial ethical issues emerging from new situations and possibilities
brought about by advances in biology, medicine, etc.
To be able to understand and analyze Bioethics
To learn the timeline of bioethics
II. Definition of Terms:
1.) Bioethics-is the study of the typically controversial ethical issues emerging from new
situations and possibilities brought about by advances in biology and medicine.
2.) Partial Birth Abortion- Act-Under this law, any physician who, in or affecting
interstate or foreign commerce, knowingly performs a partial-birth abortion and thereby
kills a human fetus shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or
both."
3). Right to Die is an ethical or institutional entitlement of any individual to
commit suicide or to undergo voluntary euthanasia.
4.) Defense of Abortion-is a moral philosophy paper by Judith Jarvis Thomson first
published in 1971. Granting for the sake of argument that the fetus has a right to life,
Thomson uses thought experiments to argue that the pregnant woman's right to control
her own body and its life-support functions trumps the fetus' right to life, and that
induced abortion is therefore morally permissible.
5.) .Human Genome- is the complete set of genetic information for humans (Homo
sapiens sapiens). This information is encoded asDNA sequences within the
23 chromosome pairs in cell nuclei and in a small DNA molecule found within
individual mitochondria.
III. Discussion
Bioethics is the study of the typically controversial ethical issues emerging from new
situations and possibilities brought about by advances in biology and medicine. It is also
moral discernment as it relates to medical policy, practice, and research. Bioethicists are
concerned with the ethical questions that arise in the relationships among life sciences,
biotechnology, medicine, politics, law, and philosophy. It also includes the study of the
more commonplace questions of values ("the ethics of the ordinary") which arise in
primary care and other branches of medicine.
Bioethics involves issues relating to the beginning and end of human life, all the way
from issues relating to in-vitro fertilisation and abortion to euthanasia and palliative care.
Bioethics has an impact on every level of human community from the local nursing home
to the huge international conferences on issues like the Human Genome. Bioethics is a
branch of "applied ethics" and requires the expertise of people working in a wide range
disciplines including: law, philosophy, theology, medicine, the life sciences, nursing and
social science. Bioethics is full of difficult ethical questions for everybody: families,
hospitals, governments and civilisation. Fundamental values are at stake: human life, the

dignity of the frail and elderly, just healthcare, bodily integrity and the ability to make
reasonable decisions.
TIMELINE OF BIOETHICS
1968 Harvard University recommends brain death standards for organ transplantation.
1971 Judith Jarvis writes A Defense of Abortion, an influential essay which defends
abortion even while assuming the personhood of the unborn.
1972 Details of the Depression--era Tuskegee Syphilis Study, one of the greatest ethical
breaches of trust between physicians and patients in a U.S. clinical study, are brought to
light.
1973 The Roe vs. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision allows unrestricted access to
abortion before viability.
1976 By a ruling of the New Jersey Supreme Court, Karen Ann Quinlan is taken off life
support. Hers is the first major right to die case involving persistent vegetative state
(PVS). She lived for 9 years after being removed from life support.
1978 Louise Joy Brown, the first test tube baby, is born.
1981 AIDS is first reported in the U.S.
1996 Dolly the sheep, the first cloned mammal, is born.
2001 President Bush permits limited government funding of embryonic stem cell
research, using only embryos that had already been destroyed.
2003 The Human Genome Project is completed, marking the first complete draft of the
sequence of human DNA.
2003 The Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, a federal ban of intact dilation and extraction as
an abortion procedure, is passed.
2007 The U.S. Supreme Court upholds the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act.

To learn what is the meaning of the Bioethics.
To know the controversial ethical issues emerging from new situations and possibilities
brought about by advances in biology, medicine, etc.
To be able to understand and analyze Bioethics
To learn the timeline of bioethics
II. Definition of Terms:
1.) Bioethics-is the study of the typically controversial ethical issues emerging from new
situations and possibilities brought about by advances in biology and medicine.
2.) Partial Birth Abortion- Act-Under this law, any physician who, in or affecting
interstate or foreign commerce, knowingly performs a partial-birth abortion and thereby
kills a human fetus shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or
both."
3). Right to Die is an ethical or institutional entitlement of any individual to
commit suicide or to undergo voluntary euthanasia.
4.) Defense of Abortion-is a moral philosophy paper by Judith Jarvis Thomson first
published in 1971. Granting for the sake of argument that the fetus has a right to life,
Thomson uses thought experiments to argue that the pregnant woman's right to control
her own body and its life-support functions trumps the fetus' right to life, and that
induced abortion is therefore morally permissible.

III. Discussion

 Bioethics is the study of the typically controversial ethical issues emerging from new
situations and possibilities brought about by advances in biology and medicine. It is also
moral discernment as it relates to medical policy, practice, and research. Bioethicists are
concerned with the ethical questions that arise in the relationships among life sciences,
biotechnology, medicine, politics, law, and philosophy. It also includes the study of the
more commonplace questions of values ("the ethics of the ordinary") which arise in
primary care and other branches of medicine.
Bioethics involves issues relating to the beginning and end of human life, all the way
from issues relating to in-vitro fertilisation and abortion to euthanasia and palliative care.
Bioethics has an impact on every level of human community from the local nursing home
to the huge international conferences on issues like the Human Genome. Bioethics is a
branch of "applied ethics" and requires the expertise of people working in a wide range
disciplines including: law, philosophy, theology, medicine, the life sciences, nursing and
social science. Bioethics is full of difficult ethical questions for everybody: families,
hospitals, governments and civilisation. Fundamental values are at stake: human life, the
dignity of the frail and elderly, just healthcare, bodily integrity and the ability to make
reasonable decisions.
TIMELINE OF BIOETHICS
1968 Harvard University recommends brain death standards for organ transplantation.

I. Objectives:
To learn what is the meaning of the Bioethics.
To know the controversial ethical issues emerging from new situations and possibilities
brought about by advances in biology, medicine, etc.
To be able to understand and analyze Bioethics
To learn the timeline of bioethics
II. Definition of Terms:
1.) Bioethics-is the study of the typically controversial ethical issues emerging from new
situations and possibilities brought about by advances in biology and medicine.

 2.) Partial Birth Abortion- Act-Under this law, any physician who, in or affecting
interstate or foreign commerce, knowingly performs a partial-birth abortion and thereby
kills a human fetus shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or
both."
3). Right to Die is an ethical or institutional entitlement of any individual to
commit suicide or to undergo voluntary euthanasia.
4.) Defense of Abortion-is a moral philosophy paper by Judith Jarvis Thomson first
published in 1971. Granting for the sake of argument that the fetus has a right to life,
Thomson uses thought experiments to argue that the pregnant woman's right to control
her own body and its life-support functions trumps the fetus' right to life, and that
induced abortion is therefore morally permissible.
5.) .Human Genome- is the complete set of genetic information for humans (Homo
sapiens sapiens). This information is encoded asDNA sequences within the
23 chromosome pairs in cell nuclei and in a small DNA molecule found within
individual mitochondria.
III. Discussion
Bioethics is the study of the typically controversial ethical issues emerging from new
situations and possibilities brought about by advances in biology and medicine. It is also
moral discernment as it relates to medical policy, practice, and research. Bioethicists are
concerned with the ethical questions that arise in the relationships among life sciences,
biotechnology, medicine, politics, law, and philosophy. It also includes the study of the
more commonplace questions of values ("the ethics of the ordinary") which arise in
primary care and other branches of medicine.
Bioethics involves issues relating to the beginning and end of human life, all the way
from issues relating to in-vitro fertilisation and abortion to euthanasia and palliative care.
Bioethics has an impact on every level of human community from the local nursing home
to the huge international conferences on issues like the Human Genome. Bioethics is a
branch of "applied ethics" and requires the expertise of people working in a wide range
disciplines including: law, philosophy, theology, medicine, the life sciences, nursing and
social science. Bioethics is full of difficult ethical questions for everybody: families,
hospitals, governments and civilisation. Fundamental values are at stake: human life, the
dignity of the frail and elderly, just healthcare, bodily integrity and the ability to make
reasonable decisions.
TIMELINE OF BIOETHICS
1968 Harvard University recommends brain death standards for organ transplantation.
1971 Judith Jarvis writes A Defense of Abortion, an influential essay which defends
abortion even while assuming the personhood of the unborn.
1972 Details of the Depression--era Tuskegee Syphilis Study, one of the greatest ethical
breaches of trust between physicians and patients in a U.S. clinical study, are brought to
light.
1973 The Roe vs. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision allows unrestricted access to
abortion before viability.

 1976 By a ruling of the New Jersey Supreme Court, Karen Ann Quinlan is taken off life
support. Hers is the first major right to die case involving persistent vegetative state
(PVS). She lived for 9 years after being removed from life support.
