Clinical decision-making in the 21st century is marked by ethical complexity. Healthcare professionals must balance clinical, social, and ethical responsibilities, especially given technological advances in medicine. Proactive solutions are needed for the ethical challenges that arise in patient care, including debates about the quality of life and death. The Human Genome Project has revealed the complexities of inheritance and disease susceptibility, paving the way for personalized medicine. Research, particularly during the HIV pandemic, has further expanded the ethical landscape of healthcare.
Society will evaluate the medical profession based on its responses to these challenges, and professionals will be held accountable for their expertise within ethical and legal frameworks. Cultural considerations and the impact of medical care on communities and the environment must also be integrated into decision-making.
The Division of Medical Ethics and Law (DMEL) was established to address these issues, engaging in:
- ?Undergraduate bioethics teaching?
- Ethics consultancy services for local hospitals and practitioners.
- Empirical research on bioethical issues
- Postgraduate bioethics teaching
