What exactly is bioethics? Medical research seems to always outpace our society's ability to examine the moral and ethical concerns of such research. Is there a framework by which to understand often complex medical research such as the embryonic stage of life? Is it time to put the reins on medical research that is deemed unethical, especially when it concerns human dignity?

Kansas
|
Since becoming Governor of Kansas, Sam Brownback has signed sixteen pieces of pro-life legislation. Wide ranging discussion. For instance, Kansas is the first state in America to Ban 'Dismemberment Abortions in the Womb'. Educating the public as to the horrors of abortion and what's really going on, is the key. This occurred on slavery with Wilberforce in England and with Harriett Beecher Stowe in America galvanizing the issue. Philosophically, America may be ready to ask whether the child in the womb is a person or a piece of property.

Medical ethics is supposed to be deliberated with reasoned discernment about what is right and what is wrong. However, nowadays, medical ethics is often an afterthought that is frequently brushed aside dismissively by the rapid advancement of medical technology. When it comes to making babies in the laboratory, greed appears to be the prime motivation of the medical community in an area that has very little regulation.
