Why this blog is important for me?

In recent years, regarding to bioethics, things like euthanasia or assisted suicide have been more used all around the world, this, because they give the opportunity to families and even patients to decide their destiny in a peaceful and proper way. In addition, all the factors that involve the completion of these processes are something stipulated in hippocratic oath, which main objective is to look for the well-being and authonomy of the individuals. 

While, on the other hand, we have global warming, this is notoriously more known and talked about, however, is necessary to play a more important role in order to defend our planet from the damage that humanity have brought. This is why I would like to use this blog to promote and improve, with the help of our community, the measures taken at schools, public sites and also our home. The goal is to take advantage of this digital tool to reach as much public as possible, so everyone can do their part and make a difference from east to west. 

Bioethics

History

It is commonly said that bioethics origin is placed in the year of 500 B.C. with the Hippocratic Oath. However, we can also consider the Hammurabi's Code from 1750 B.C. as the real begin of bioethics owing to all the information it contains about medical practice. 

Both were created in order to solve and have an answer for certain moral questions, these two are focused in doing the best for medicine, and therefore, people. 

Hippocrates was the first one to separate medicine from religion, witchcraft, philosophy, magic, among others, this, with the aim of doing from medicine a completely independent and self-sufficient discipline. Being as well the one who confront against the ideas which established that illnesses were provoked by celestial beings and demons. The oath makes new residents to swear, in few words, that they will act in an ethic and proper way, always helping patients and being conscious, taking into account every word is written in the text when doing their labour.

Definition

In words of Cambridge University on its online dictionary, bioethics is defined as, 'The study of what is right and wrong in new discoveries and techniques in biology, such as genetic engineering and the transplantation of organs'.

Principles

There are four of them in bioethics:

• 
  Respect for autonomy: it refers to the respect and consideration of someone's decision taking, enabling people to make conscious choices with the given information at any situation.
• Beneficence: talks about the importance of the benefits, risks and costs it can take any treatment or medical process, though medicals must act undoubtedly in benefit of the patient. 

• Non-maleficence: establishes that healthcare professionals have strictly forbidden to make damage or harm a person, every treatment has its own minimal harm, but it must not be unequal to the treatment benefits.
• Justice: benefits, risks and costs must be distributed on a fair and correct way, in other words, all patients must be treated equally.
