Healthcare ethics, also called bioethics or medical ethics, is the field examining moral principles and dilemmas in medical practice and research, such as patient autonomy, informed consent, end-of-life care, and equitable resource allocation. Ethicists work in hospitals, universities, and policy institutions, often serving on ethics committees that advise clinicians on difficult cases. The field draws on philosophy, law, and medicine to guide decision-making in complex clinical situations.
