Abstract

|
|
|
This paper is on moral education of bio-medical ethics, specially for middle and high school. Whang’s scandal gave us a lot of lessons. Above all we learned that a rigid ethical standard should govern bio-medical researches. But Research Ethics may be not the essence of Whang’s scandal, for many people of us still wait for junior Whang who willingly observes the rule about an egg donation procedure etc.. Therefore they do not think Whang’s research itself has moral problems. Except Research Ethics, their bio-medical ethical consciousness has not changed. At this point something is wrong. We must rethink our moral beliefs about bio-medical situations such as life, death, pain and happiness. Our history of moral debates on bio-medical issues is not long, moreover it’s density and extent too is not enough. From now we need to reorganize festina lente the program for our bio-medical consciousness’ maturity. In this paper, the importance of a moral education for middle and high school about modern bio-medical issues is proposed. Our present level of it is not high. Particularly the bio-medical ethics education of a curriculum of moral education does not get out of traditional moral principle about bio-medical issues, and then does not touch the core of modern bio-medical ethical issues. Some problem in curriculum and text books are needed to resolve.
