Overall, ethics is a branch of philosophy that involves the moral aspects of human behavior and is a topic encountered in every field. Specifically, in the medical field, physicians encounter situations everyday that may jeopardize their moral standing, but have to act in the patient's best interest. One example that we elaborated on today was abortion and the ethical concerns with it. Patients have demands for particular services, but doctors have to weigh the provisions of care to maximize their quality of life.
