Ethical problems are receiving a great deal of attention recently in medical community. In the school of dental community, it has been concerned with these things. This survey was conducted to find out of the school of dentisty Korean students’ perceptions toward the ethical problems. Data was collected by using questionnare. We received 128 cases that senior was 61 and freshman was 67.
This collected data showed that school of dentistry students regard bribery as the most common ethical problem. Other frequently mentioned problems are treatment equality, refusal and unkindness of patient. Also, they agreed to artificial abortion in 65.6%, euthanasia in 88.8%, brain death in 90.2%, in vitro fertilization in 95.2%, and homosexuality in 56.8%. But, They disagreed to human duplication in 80.0%. School of dentistry students’ perceptions was not statistically by grade. It means that school of dentistry education is far from ethics education. Therefore, school of dentistry curriculum ought to occupy a greater portion of the ethical curriculum for students. Also, Many researchers should carry out that these issues needs to be done in a more comprehensive way.
