    Study Notes

    Introduction to Bioethics

    • Bioethics examines ethical, social, and legal issues in biomedicine and research.
    • It encompasses various aspects of healthcare, including the relationships between providers, clients, and society.

    Key Ethical Principles

    • Beneficence: Actions performed for the good of others, emphasizing ideal and obligatory beneficence.
    • Non-Maleficence: The principle of "do no harm," rejecting intentional harm and requiring care to avoid negligence.
    • Justice: Focuses on fairness and equity in healthcare, distinguished as distributive and comparative justice.
    • Fidelity: Pertains to trustworthiness and fulfilling commitments, requiring integrity and honesty.

    Prevalence of Bioethical Issues

    • Key issues include abortion, suicide, determination of death, in vitro fertilization, and stem cell technology.
    • Different abortion classification includes direct, indirect, spontaneous, and induced types, each with specific definitions and implications.

    Types of Abortion

    • Complete Abortion: All uterine contents expelled.
    • Induced Abortion: Intentional termination of pregnancy via mechanical or chemical means.
    • Therapeutic Abortion: Performed to restore the mother's health.
    • Miscellaneous Types: Includes habitual abortion (recurring miscarriages) and septic abortion (infection-related).

    Health Care Provider's Duties

    • Requires qualities like fidelity, honesty, integrity, humility, respect, compassion, and prudence.
    • Responsibility to the client, society, and the profession must be upheld consistently.

    Challenges in End-of-Life Care

    • Decisions on withdrawing or withholding treatment are made in contexts of patient irreversibility, imminent death, and extraordinary measures.
    • Advance directives, including living wills and DNR orders, clarify patients’ wishes about medical interventions.

    Euthanasia

    • Categories include voluntary, non-voluntary, and involuntary euthanasia.
    • Active euthanasia involves direct actions to end life, whereas passive euthanasia entails letting patients die without intervention.

    Definitions Regarding Death

    • Clinical Death: Begins 4-6 minutes after the heart stops; signifies lack of blood circulation.
    • Brain Death: Total and irreversible loss of brain function.
    • Biological Death: Occurs when key organs show cellular failure.

    Stem Cell Technology

    • Stem cells are foundational to all bodily organs and tissues, with embryonic stem cells derived from blastocysts and induced pluripotent stem cells formed by reprogramming adult cells.
    • Stem cell research is crucial in understanding developmental processes and potential medical applications.

    Key Human Concepts

    • Personhood: Definition and ethical implications of being a person.
    • Distinction between human acts, voluntary actions, and rational behavior.

    This systematic approach to bioethics facilitates a comprehensive understanding of ethical standards and dilemmas faced within healthcare and life sciences.
