Preferred term

bioethics  

Definition

  • Bioethics broadly describes the philosophical analysis of moral dilemmas, which arise from the development and application of biological and life sciences, often through such practices as medicine. Bioethics became a formal academic discipline in the late 1960s, developed through such institutions as The Hastings Center, which formalized research within academic journals and books.
