The last five decades have seen significant development in medical and biomedical technology and applications. The increase in research and development in fields such as biomechanics‚ biomaterials‚ cloning‚ tissue engineering‚ and medicine have spawned a whole new branch of philosophy aptly named bioethics. Bioethics‚ the study of the ethical and moral implications of biological research and biomedical advances‚ emerged in the early 1970s as its own discipline. As medical technology is improved
