made which in turn can alter the prestige of a community. Spiritual significance in the advancement of medicine can reduce the “acceptability” of various medical practices as they may be seen as an intrusion on the culture. The Nuffield council on bioethics describes the situation as how “aspects of the culture of research in UK higher education institutions can encourage poor research practices and hinder the production of high quality science” (Scientists Concerned That Culture of Research…

decisions when providing care to their patients. Some of those decisions are clear cut such as providing medicine that will stop nausea or medications that will relieve the pain of a heart attack. Other decisions in healthcare blur the lines of bioethics. One such area is end of life care and whether to assist a terminally ill patient to die. The practice of assisted suicide has been given names such as "death with dignity" or "right to die" to make it more palatable to individuals. I will…

People could argue for what seems like forever about whether or not abortion should remain legal or how the law can better regulate abortions based on how far into the pregnancy a woman is and why she is considering terminating the pregnancy. While we may never come to a unanimous decision, we should at least agree that abortions in order…

So if genetic testing can be so beneficial, why is it ethically controversial? As President Bill Clinton once said, we must “recognize that this extraordinary march of human understanding imposes on us profound responsibilities, to make sure that the age of discovery can continue to reflect our most cherished values” ("President Clinton 's Comments on the Signing," 2013). Because of its nature, genetic testing leads to a whole host of potential problems including genetic discrimination, the use…
