Bio-Social Ethics

Meaning

Bio-Social Ethics is an interdisciplinary framework that critically examines the moral implications and societal consequences that arise from profound advancements in biological sciences and medical technologies, especially where they interact with human health, behavior, and social structures. This field analyzes complex issues like life extension interventions, genetic screening practices, and the equitable access to high-tech health resources. It seeks to establish ethical guidelines that simultaneously uphold individual autonomy and account for the broader social, cultural, and environmental impacts of biological manipulation. Establishing a just framework for the distribution of biological benefits is a core tenet.
