Clinical Ethics
Clinical Ethics: is a practical discipline that provides a structured approach to assist health professionals in identifying, analyzing and resolving ethical issues that can arise in a clinical practice. Ongoing developments in medical technology may raise awareness of, or concerns about the ethical dimensions of clinical care. There are also changing social, cultural and public attitudes towards the profession. Occasionally, health professionals and patients may disagree about values or face choices that challenge their values. It is then that ethical problems may arise.
