Bioethical Issues Healthcare
how does religion affect healthcare? is it a bioethical issue?
Religious beliefs sometimes conflict with modern healthcare. For example, some religions don’t believe in artificially extending life (i.e., if God wants to take me now, medicine should not be used to fight God’s well). Some religion’s are the opposite, requiring that a life be saved at all costs.
Some religions accept abortion. Some don’t. Some religions accept birth control. Some don’t.
