Abstract

Humankind talks about ethics for a noble purpose of improving and enhancing
human relationships toward one another. No ethics would be mentioned if care and
concern for others do not exist. Obviously, the foundation of ethics is mutual caring
among people. This concern however has been expanded to include all life forms on
earth therefore a new term bioethics is coined. As Fritz Jahr said that we must respect
every living being. Thus, what is bioethics? it is a respect and love of life.
