Applied ethics

Applied ethics is the practical aspect of moral considerations. It is ethics with respect to real-world actions and their moral considerations in private and public life, the professions, health, technology, law, and leadership.^[1] For example, bioethics is concerned with identifying the best approach to moral issues in the life sciences, such as euthanasia, the allocation of scarce health resources, or the use of human embryos in research.^[2]^[3]^[4] Environmental ethics is concerned with ecological issues such as the responsibility of government and corporations to clean up pollution.^[5] Business ethics includes the duties of whistleblowers to the public and to their employers.^[6]
