Global bioethics: linking genes to ethical behavior

Article Abstract:

New studies are linking genes to ethical behavior. Evidences suggest that certain genes, or 'ethical genes,' which are expressed in the brain yield a phenotype that is receptive to moral and ethical messages emanating from an exterior social environment. They create 'future-awareness' in individuals and determine ethical behavior and social relationships. The basic bioethic was built in the genes through the process of natural selection and is passed on to future generations either in the form of short-term or 'animal' genes, or ethical genes.

Identifying people's genes: ethical aspects of DNA sampling in populations

Article Abstract:

The removal and identification of genes from the human body violates the right to privacy of an individual. The developments in microbiology and genetic engineering have revealed several new aspects about the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The identification of genes to determine the character of an individual violates the law of privacy. Genetic information should be used only for developing new methods and drugs to combat diseases.

BIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES

Article Abstract:

Near-death experiences (NDEs), previously dismissed as meaningless hallucinations, are becoming the subject of serious medical research. It is important to understand NDE because it occurs to patients while under treatment and because the experience impacts a patient's health and response to medical treatments. It also helps doctors understand the interaction between mind and body.
