What are some examples of moral issues affecting healthcare?

A : Health care involves many ethical issues and many situations that place practitioners in the position of making moral decisions A triage nurse determine who should be treated first, usually making decisions based of pain and urgency. In emergencies and in remote areas or poor countries, the decision can somertimes be reversed, with the decision to treat those more likely to survive in preference to those likely to die but whose best chances are to receive immediate treatment In some countries, access to decent health care depends on having appropriate health insurance or the financial ability to afford the necessary treatment. Refusing necessary treatment to a poor person without health insurance can be a moral issue Elderly people close to death and in great pain can be kept alive for days, weeks or even months by intensive treatment, often at considerable cost.

Regardless of whether this treatment is provided or removed, the practitioner is making a moral decision. A further moral issue that some practitioners have been faced with is whether to actively assist a terminally ill and suffering patient to die For many, abortion is a moral issue, and some decline to assist. A related issue is in vitro fertilisation A: There are many moral and ethical issues which conflict with Christian beliefs and teachings surrounding the modern medical world, particularly with relation to genetic engineering: 1) Stem cell research - Is this "playing God?2) Is genetic engineering improper in terms of human dignity?3) Does interfering with the genome sacrifice some level of humanity?(Less human?) 4) Is it fair to create "saviour siblings" to improve the health of another child whilst effectively creating an unwanted life?
