Bioethics.  Medical ethics.  Medical products ethics.

is the corporate ethics division of

DNA sequencing, vector construction, molecular biology, stem cell research, splitting livers for human transplantation, living wills --- all terms almost unknown just a dozen or so years ago.  The increase in biotechnology has caused medical and biological researcher to wonder about ethics and the perceived (although not actual) increase in lawsuits against doctors has caused doctors to think more deliberately about medical ethics.  In response, the growth of the ethics materials available to doctors through the American Medical Association is typified by the AMA medical ethics internet web pages.

Sometimes a medical group will feel the need for a customized seminar on ethics, to give information and point up areas of potential ethics problems in their specific group.  Other times a helping ethics counselor is needed for a specific problem that is causing concern, involving identified individuals and there relations to the  medical institution. In medical ethics consultations involving patient care, Bucklin has a Clinical Pragmatism Method format that is effective in solving clinical ethics questions.
