Biomedical Ethics: Morality for the New Medicine (1974) is a book by Kenneth L. Vaux that addresses the moral and ethical challenges presented by rapid advances in medical and biological technology. The book highlights how the “new medicine”—such as organ transplantation, genetic engineering, and reproductive technology—requires a new moral framework that goes beyond traditional medical ethics. Vaux explores difficult dilemmas concerning life and death, including defining death, abortion, animal rights, and patient rights. Beyond individual clinical ethics, the book also addresses social ethical issues such as the allocation of health care resources and research on human subjects. Overall, this work is an important early contribution to the field of bioethics, which seeks to integrate moral values ​​into the increasingly technological practice of modern medicine.
