The study of ethical issues emerging from advances in technology, medicine, and biotechnical engineering is called?

• A. Clinical ethics
• B. Bioethics
• C. Professional ethics
• D. Technological ethics

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is a field that studies moral questions raised by advances in biology, medicine, and biotech engineering. This is bioethics. It’s the best fit because it explicitly centers on ethical issues in life sciences, medical practice, and biotechnological innovation, tying together concerns about patient rights, research ethics, genetic engineering, and healthcare policy. In contrast, clinical ethics focuses mainly on decisions at the bedside with individual patients, professional ethics covers general standards of conduct for professionals, and technological ethics is broader and not specifically tied to biology and medicine.
