  • Antonio Sandu

Abstract

The term “bioethics” comes from the Greek terms bios – life and ethos – ethics, that is, the ethics of life. Thus, bioethics represents a particular branch of research within the wider sphere of applied ethics. Bioethics tries to answer the question: what are or what should be the desirable behaviors of humanity in general, and individuals in particular, when faced with the situations in which each is placed, due to the state of health and participation in health care, on the one hand, and on the development of technologies that bring along new threats to humanity, in addition to those that humanity seeks to diminish or eliminate, on the other.
