B. Defend
1. Do you think bioethics is successful in its goal and directions which is
primarily to cure illnesses, and prolong and save lives? Are there no
obstacles in this directions?

Bioethics, in my opinion, has achieved its objectives and purposes, as evidenced

by the outcomes of our healthcare professionals' intervention. Before providing
treatment and medicines to their patient or customer, bioethics assists them in
rationalizing the intervention they need to perform. This also assists them in
establishing how they would address their client's and patient's predicament by
doing the right thing and distinguishing between what is ethically good and
wrong in order to rescue their patients and heal their ailments.

Why Hippocratic Oath and Nightingale Pledge are important in the practice of
Medical and Allied Health?

These are crucial in the practice of Medical and Allied Health because they
enable professionals to focus on their vocation of saving lives. That no matter
how difficult it is to fight the war with their patient, they must remember that it is
their obligation to do so. These experts must focus their utmost attention,
especially in crucial moments, on how they can treat and conquer their patient's
sickness. These professionals likewise adhere to the same concepts and
theories when it comes to planning and intervention in order to achieve success.
