https://doi.org/10.25789/YMJ.2024.85.23
Abstract
Applied bioethics is a field of knowledge, the subject of which is practical moral problems. The ethical principles that form the basis for applied bioethical research related to neurodegenerative disease in Yakutia are discussed. Applying the basic four ethical principles as starting points can lead to different answers regarding specific bioethical problems, in our case the moral problems of providing medical care to patients with neurodegenerative diseases.
