bioethical and moral issue Flashcards
identify
Aka Laboratory Fertilization
in vitro fertilization
identify
- Also known as birth control
- Can be obtain by the use of devices, sexual practices, or medication to reduce pregnancy
contraception
identify
- The passive euthanasia
- Refers to the “negative” act of causing death that is geared towards termination of pain and suffering
euthanasia by omission
identify
Refers to as Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
cloning
identify
- these stem cells are found in bone marrow of adults and in placentas and umbilical cords of infants.
- This stem cells have been successfully used to treat rare genetic disease
adult cells or somatic cells
identify
entails the withholding of common treatment such as antibiotics, necessary for the continuance of life
passive euthanasia
identify
the prevention of fertilization of ovum by the sperm cells
contraception
identify
Controversial ethical issue because it involves genetic manipulations that are perceived to be against moral standards set by the society
genetic engineering
identify
entails the use of lethal substances or that which forces to kill and is the most controversial means
active euthanasia
identify
the stem cells found in the amniotic fluid, a fluid that fills the sac that surrounds and protects a developing fetus in the uterus; these are sample of cells that are drawn from pregnant women such procedure is called amniocentesis
amniotic fluid stem cells
identify
- euthanasia conducted with the consent of the patient
- legal in Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Switzerland and the U.S. Assisted suicide is used.
voluntary euthanasia
identify
Is an ethical dispute that requires the application of ethical principles for its resolution
bioethical issue
identify
donation of organ among family members
living related donors
identify
cloning for therapy
therapeutic cloning
identify
Disintegration and breakdown of the metabolic process
cellular definition
identify
A person is dead when the heart stop beating
physiological definition
identify
‘’altruistic’’ is giving a donation to someone not well-known to the donor
good samaritan
identify
- The active euthanasia
- Refers to the “positive” act of causing death that is geared towards termination of pain and suffering
euthanasia by commission
identify:
- are master cells of the body; cells from which other cells with specialized functions are created
- divide to form more cells called daughter cell
- may become brain cells, blood cells, muscle cells, or bone cells which can be used to generate and repair diseased or damaged body tissues
stem cells
identify
cloning for creating human embryo with the intentions of gestating them in full-grown human being
reproductive cloning
identify
conducted against the will of the patient
involuntary euthanasia
identify
donors get money or other compensation in exchange for their organs
compensated donation
identify
screen, choose, select the genes for proper detection of genetic disease
genetic screening
identify
A condition where brain is destroyed
brain death definition
identify
Controversial to some religious as it appears as a deviation of the natural process of fertilization
in vitro fertilization
identify
a technique of matching willing donors to compatible recipients
paired exchange
identify
Death means separation of body and soul
religious definition
- euthanasia conducted where the consent of the patient is unavailable
- example: child euthanasia
non-voluntary euthanasia
identify
the prevention of implantation of the blastocyst
contragestion
identify
deceased family member requests an organ be given to a specific donor
allocation of donated organs
identify
It is the creation of a genetic copy of a sequence of DNA or the entire genome
cloning
identify
varies authorities harvest organs from those who are deemed undesirable, such as the prison population
forced donation
identify
“moving of an organ from one body to another”
organ transplant
identify
- Refers to the practice of ending a life in manner which relieves pain and suffering
- Easy death which is also called mercy killing
- It is carried out for someone who is terminally ill and suffering from prolonged and unbearable pain
euthanasia
identify
- these stem cells come from the embryos (4-5 days old), called blastocyst with about 150 cells.
- This cells have the greatest potential to divide
embryonic stem cells
identify
genetic control, therapy and surgery (control bad genes)
genetic interventions
identify
Greek word: “eu” easy, “thanatos” death
euthanasia
identify
the chemical or surgical induction of the developing embryo or fetus
abortion
