The bioethics approach has changed in recent years due to technology development and the recognition of the need to be more inclusive. In the article “How to build an inclusive do not base,” the author Kelliher (2021) argues that organizations now aim to create inclusive do not bases, which was not the case in the past. However, changing the established practices where only white men were targeted requires both time and effort. These organizations should have fundraisers and debunk myths about donorship. Thus, this process, in actuality, is more complicated and requires more effort. Since currently, there is a greater awareness of the issues of minorities, and professional communities have to dedicate more effort to ensuring inclusivity.
In another article, titled “Bioethics and the use of social media for medical crowdfunding” Kubheka (2020) focuses on the change in the way donation requests are being processed now. Donation requests can now travel across borders because of social media’s globalization of compassion. Social networking is used to connect charitable benefactors and patients who have unmet medical needs. Without question, fundraising efforts using these platforms make it easier for patients and their carers to acquire financial resources. Thus, both Kubheka (2020) and Kelliher (2021) discuss how the bioethics field has changed in recent years, allowing more people to be included in the donation process. However, this change requires professionals and governments to change the way they approach biology-based issues. Government officials should monitor how people are using crowdfunding websites to spot ineffective government initiatives and unmet medical needs that are encouraging people to use these sites. It is morally required to preserve human rights and to treat every individual with respect.
