Abstract
Abstract: This article discusses the view of bioethics in terms of “need of ressearch” and gives
more weight to various cultural traditions and their respective moral beliefs. It is argued that this
view is implausible for the following three reasons: it renders the disciplinary boundaries
of bioethics too flexible and inconsistent with metaphysical commitments of biomedical sciences, it
is normatively useless because it approaches cultural phenomena in a predominantly descriptive
and selective way, and it tends to justify certain types of discrimination. Compromise on moral
matters attracts ambivalent reactions, since it seems at once laudable and deplorable. When a
hotly-contested phenomenon like assisted dying is debated, all-or-nothing positions tend to be
advanced, with little thought given to the desirability of, or prospects for, compromise. In order to
qualify as appropriately principled, the ensuing negotiations require disputants to observe three
constraints: they should be suitably reflective, reliable and respectful in their dealings with one
another. The product that will result from such a process will also need to split the difference
between the warring parties. In assisted dying, I argue that a reduced offence of 'compassionate
killing' can achieve this. Clinical research is revolutionizing the practice of medicine in an
unprecedented way. Some current legal and ethical concerns evolving from this revolution are
addressed, pointing to the emerging concepts in jurisprudence, which regards medical research as
an important contribution to patient empowerment, to medical risk management and in managing
the resources of a national health system.
While bioethics as a field has concerned itself with methodological issues since the early years,
there has been no systematic examination of how ethics is incorporated into research on the
ethical, legal and social implications. We aim of better understanding the methods, aims, and
approaches to ethics that its researchers employ. We found that the aims of ethics are largely
prescriptive and address multiple groups. This is a life concern issue. It is an important issue for
researchers, teachers as well as for student. This articles main aim is to provide systematic outline
of the complex relationship between bioethics and patent between India, USA and UK. This study
suggests that trusting relationships may be more conducive than any particular discussion strategy
to facilitating doctor-patient discussions of health care costs. Better public understanding of how
medical decisions affect insurer costs and how such costs ultimately affect patients personally will
be necessary if discussions about insurer costs are to occur in the clinical encounter. It will give an
overview of the bioethics and Patent. The literature survey has indicated that there is no
comprehensive work has been done by any researcher on this topic. Therefore the present study
would concentrate on the work being carried out by Indian, USA and UK R & D scientists vis-a-vis
Global researchers. Studies aims to map basic human needs such as human health, food and a
safe environment, touches on fundamental values, such as human dignity and the genetic integrity
of humanity, can raise human rights issues such as access to health and benefits from scientific
progress, raises concerns over equitable access to the fruits of new technologies, the consent of
those involved in research, and protection of the environment and compare these among India,
USA and UK. The research map out many issues and policy communities, but main aspect is the
ethical implications of protecting biotechnological inventions through the intellectual property (IP)
system. A Bioethicist assists the health care and research community in examining moral issues
involved in our understanding of life and death, and resolving ethical dilemmas in medicine and
science. This research provides a systematic outline of the complex relationship between bioethics
and IP. It will give an overview of bioethics. It sketches core principles in the interaction of IP and
bioethics among these three countries. The basic data for the bibliometric analysis has been collected from SCI and for mapping different
parameters suitable analytical software eg. SPSS, BibTech Mon is used. The analysis arises
questions such as: Does India do enough work in this field. Which country is fastest growth among
these.
