Professional ethics in biomedical engineering practice and research

Jorge E. Monzón, Alvaro Monzon-Wyngaard

Open publisher page 8 citations

Abstract

This paper discusses some guidelines for use with the accepted fundamental canons of ethics for engineers. We present some rules of practice and professional obligations emerging from these canons. Basic recommendations for engineers dissenting on ethical grounds are also presented. Ethical issues relating to Biomedical Engineering research are illustrated. We mention some cases that could be used to further understanding the ethical implications of biomedical engineering practice.
