The second article I am doing for my post is called "What is Bioethics" by The Center for Practical Bioethics. At the very beginning of the article it asks to questions partaining to bioethics; "What is the right or good thing to do?" and "What are our obligations to one another?". It goes on to say that bioethicist use these questions to determine what is best for society. The article continues to talk how bioethics was coined and all the concerns that bioethics deals with. It also goes on to talk about issues like global healthcare, distributive justice, and life sciences.
I really like this article because it gives a quick and to the point synopsis about bioethics. I really should have put this as my first print source because it give a good understanding of what bioethics is and is a good introduction to bioethics. One negative though is that the article doesn't really talk about the different branches of bioethics which could still leave question on the matter. All in all, this source is very good in the basics of bioethics.
