Physicians have historically set and maintained policies concerning ethical behavior in medical practice. During the last 30 years, the distinct study of bioethics has come into being. The obligation to act in an ethical manner in medical practice requires that we know something about how we should act and what internal and external guidelines should be followed to accomplish that end. Bioethical issues should be examined from the perspectives of the patient and family, the physician, and society as a whole.
