37 ETHICS Guiding principles of conduct of an individual or group Influenced by profession, field, organization, etc. Related to professional work MORALITY Principles on which one s judgements of right and wrong are based Influenced by society, culture and religion Not related to professional work Uniform compared to morals Vary according to different cultures ad religions 37

39 Should badly deformed infants be kept alive? Should treatment be stopped to allow a terminally ill patient to die? Should humans be used in experiments? Questions of moral judgment "Introduction to Biomedical Engineering", J. Ederle & J. Bronzino, Academic press ISBN:

40 What is your opinion related to abortion? 40

41 Process of fertilization occurs Formation of an embryo is initiated 5 days after fertilization The embryo reaches uterus The number of cells composing the embryo is Cells form tight junctions characteristic of a compact epithelium, which is arranged around a central cavity This is the embryonic stage known as the blastocyst "Introduction to Biomedical Engineering", J. Ederle & J. Bronzino, Academic press ISBN:

42 The exterior cells are the trophoblast and eventually form the placenta Τhe inner cells of the blastocyst, (isolated and grown in a culture) are identified as embryonic stem cells Is the embryo a living human being? "Introduction to Biomedical Engineering", J. Ederle & J. Bronzino, Academic press ISBN:

43 Redefining death Terminally ill patient and euthanasia Is the embryo a living human being, entitled to all of the same rights that a human at any other age would be granted? Human experimentation Should the government support (i.e., use tax money to fund) such research? 43

44 What does your ETHICS MORALITY PHILOSOPHY say? 44
