Quality Analysis on Ethical Issues of Fetal Tissue Transplant And Embryonic Stem Cells Research

Abstract

"The complexity of fetal/embryonic tissue transplantation and stem cell research is well known. As a result, ethical and moral responsibility resting upon the researcher has been discussed. Sensitivity to social and cultural significance of human biological tissues has also been discussed. Approaches in the USA cover critical bioethical assessment of the issue of U.S. federal funding of human embryonic stem cell (derived from fetal/embryonic tissue) research, along with a) the research pertaining to public interest, b) the progression of science, c) demands for transparency of such research, d) the complexity in keeping all of the above to be in equilibrium, along with; e) the unfair legal dilemma have been as well discussed. Coupled with personal moral philosophy (which is projected as an individual moral philosophy composed of both relativism and idealism for self-governing magnitudes), and moral intensity (defined as the consideration of individual perception of bioethical situations), a model depicting the process of bioethical decision-making is proposed."
