Bioethics deals with medical decision-making. It ensures the prevalence of good over evil, justice over exploitation and the exquisite over the careless. Thus, it cannot be a subjective, speculative discipline, but rather, a reasoned analysis from which a decision is derived. The ambiguity of decisions which we experience in daily interactions usually is the result of a subjectively motivated thinking process emphasizing emotivism, legalism, cultural relativism or fidelism. Any bioethical decision-making based on these reasoning patterns will be subject to further debate due to their one-sided mature. Bioethics is an academic discipline in which decision-making is founded on rational considerations with an understanding that no decision can be perfect. Reasoned analysis refers to the fact that this process of decision-making includes medical, social, psychological theological, environmental and legal considerations. It does not appeal to authority but speaks to the need of the person from an objective perspective. Bioethics, aiming at moral, rational and empathetical decision-making, strives to give medicine a human face without compromising universally valid truth.
