Advances in health sciences have created new and difficult moral choices for individuals, their families, and the health professionals who work with them.

It focuses on the ethical, cultural, and policy dimensions of health care, technology, and the life sciences. Professionals from many arenas, including public health, prevention sciences, health sciences, the life sciences, and the social sciences have contributed to and drawn from the field of Bioethics.
