Personal Ethics Code

Introduction

I am convinced that the current concern for medical ethics meets a pivotal and universal human experience and not merely on the strength of a trend. It is this basic ethical intuition or experience which I propose to discuss here. I shall not therefore, of ethics as a theory of action, but of ethics as a way to assess concrete human actions. Moreover, in my development I will just touch only those aspects which relate directly to the Clinical Ethics. I turn then to some basics that can be useful to those who, day by day we are confronted with ethical dilemmas posed by contemporary medical practice. (Plous, 2008)

We could say that today's technology has given urgency to the ethical question. However, it is worth us to stop further analyzing this statement, as released today. (Kattan, 2009)

Discussion

It is quite common to hear about technology, spontaneously arise in us the image of complicated devices. We tend to identify the technology with the instruments. If we look at our daily lives, we realize that technology today has become a legitimate lifestyle. Thus, it would be difficult to imagine a day when the resource completely to electricity, clean water or chemicals that we use for washing or the preparation of our clothing, to name a few. The free availability of all these things is so incorporated into our daily routine, consider that even as technology products. Usually do not reflect on their origin, unless some of them were to fail, in which case, in addition to lead a hard, time, it could be that the different activities that make that day thought is seriously threatened. We are immersed in a world that changes our whole lives so that we are not aware of what are the capabilities that technology has ...
