Biomedical Ethics and Human Rights in The Context of Innovation and Information Development of Society

Abstract

The article is devoted to the issues of biomedical ethics and human rights in the conditions of innovation and information development of society. The factors of the emergence of modern biomedical ethics under the evolution of biology and medicine, including innovative technologies. Under "biomedical ethics," the branch of knowledge is considered, which is a system of ethical and legal norms that regulate relations in the field of biomedicine, a set of moral principles, norms and rules that medical professionals should observe in the course of professional activity. Sources of biomedical ethics are singled out: national legislation in the field of medicine; international medical law regulating legislation; international ethical (deontological) codes containing recommendations on medical ethics; national ethical (deontological) codes of professional ethics of medical staff. The basic functions of biomedical ethics are disclosed: informational, axiological (value), communicative, preventive. The issue of ratification by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine of international acts as a condition for ensuring the protection of human rights is explored. The expediency of adopting a special law "On the Protection of Patients' Rights", which determines the legal, economic and organizational foundations for the protection of the rights and legitimate interests of patients, including biomedical ones, is substantiated. The need to overcome the gaps in the legislation of Ukraine by unifying and developing concepts in the field of biomedicine, the normative consolidation of ethical requirements for medical staff and the implementation of biomedical research and medical practice, as well as the responsibilities of patients, is emphasized. The emphasis placed on the need to improve the domestic health care model through the introduction of a publicprivate partnership in healthcare. The importance of creating a system of organizational and legal measures to improve control over the implementation of laws and regulations on the observance of the legality of processing personal data through the establishment of rules of legal responsibility, the provision of the use of electronic services in order to implement the rights of patients, the development of criteria-signs of the concept of "personal data". The prospect of further research on biomedical ethics and human rights through the improvement of legal theory and legal practice is determined. It is concluded that fundamental human rights should remain the basis for solving existing ethical and legal problems in the field of biomedicine.

Exploring social media adoption by nurses for nursing practice in rural Volta, Ghana

“…Some nurses may violate patients' privacy by posting information on social networking sites and platforms, such as posting images or videos of a patient without their authorization, commenting on patients in a derogatory manner and exposing too many patients' details, which allows them to be recognized In Ghana, these patients' privacy and confidentiality issues are incorporated into the patient charter, which is available in all health institutions throughout the country. This patients' charter specifies the privacy, rights and expectations that patients have as part of their human basic rights (Kalyuzhny et al, 2020 ). When their privacy is compromised, even if accidentally, patients may feel they have lost their dignity, destroying the therapeutic relationship that exists between nurses and patients (Kuruppu et al, 2022 ).…”

Development of Biomedical Technology From the Perspective of Ethics and Law

“…Under the guidance of ethics, biomedical research can avoid those pitfalls that may harm human well-being, and ensure that every experimental advance and every technological breakthrough can contribute to human health and happiness. The existence of this legal system provides a solid guarantee for the development of biomedical science and technology [23]. Through the protection of intellectual property rights, the law ensures that the legitimate rights and interests of innovators are not infringed, thus stimulating the enthusiasm of researchers for innovation.…”
