Topics in Biomedical Ethics
Medical practice and scientific research in the biomedical sciences are at their core human activities governed by reason. The desire to uncover mechanisms and develop approaches to improve human health must be accompanied by universal moral principles governed by human reason. One of the most obvious contributions of Philosophy to the natural sciences today is found in the application of ethical thinking. Found in guidelines for responsible conduct in research, the design of clinical trials or everyday medical practice, ethical principles are meant to protect vulnerable individuals and to promote harmony between scientific goals and the human person.
