What is Bioethics?
The study of ethical and moral issues related to the practices of medicine and biology. The four, foundational prima facie tenets of bioethics are:
Autonomy: the freedom to make decisions about oneself; the right to self-determination
Nonmaleficence: requires that no harm be caused to an individual, unintentionally or deliberately.
Beneficence: the principle of "doing good" for others, physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially.
Justice: the quality of being just; righteousness, equitableness, or moral rightness.

The Bioethics Behind The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
If you are interested in exploring this topic further, there is an incredible online resource through edX/HarvardX (for FREE!) created by Harvard Law Professor Glen Cohen entitled:
Bioethics: The Law, Medicine, and Ethics of Reproductive Technologies and Genetics
Here is a brief overview of the contents of his course and I have also included his intriguing interview with Rebecca Skloot, Uncovering the Henrietta Lacks Story.
