Bioethics is the study of moral issues arising from advances in biology and medicine. It emerged in the 1970s to address concerns around topics like stem cell research, genetic testing, and cloning. Bioethics considers the impact of these issues on the origin of life, treatment of the sick, and end of life. There are different approaches to bioethics across religions and cultures, including general bioethics, Christian bioethics, Jewish bioethics, Muslim bioethics, Buddhist bioethics, and Hindu bioethics. Medical bioethics is a common approach that examines ethical issues in clinical practice and healthcare.
