The results of advancements are all around us today. There are the good: greater knowledge of organisms, vaccines, and the greater knowledge of our own bodies. However to every good result there is also a bad or immoral result, such as, abortion and genetic engineering. The problem does not lie in the deed itself as much as it lies in the people who perform these actions. Many times doctors are technicians disposing medicine rather that one who relates to the patient in anyway possible(McCormick, 21). Ethical thoughts are blunted in a country with immoral values (McCormick, 21). More and more doctors forget the gift of life and make inhumane decisions.

The increasing emphasis in the 1990's was on the cost of life saving equipment, resulting in economic ethics U. Penn, 4). Some may think that death, however, may not raise that many questions but with advancements such as respirators, many wonder what the definition of clinically dead is (U. Penn, 2). Research often goes to extremes and can raise ethical questions when subjects are abused (U. Penn, 2). However the most controversial ethical issues is, without a doubt, reproductive medicine. There are many examples of this in the world today like, abortion, artificial insemination, and in vitro fertilization (U. Penn, 2-3). Finally the last and most recent ethical issue, although not listed as the sixth issue, is cloning. Recently scientists in Scotland cloned a sheep, name Dolly. From this incident many ethical supporters protested the cloning of animals. Th
