The Relationship

Background: Personalized medicine is one of the health treatment approaches that has developed in the last ten years. This treatment is specific because it considers the genomics of patients and requires a complete database or medical record covering clinical and genomic data. Nevertheless, there are ethical and legal challenges in the implementation of electronic medical records in personalized medicine.Objective: This study aimed to determine the ethical and legal challenges in the use of electronic medical records in personalized medicine based on previous literature.Methods: The method used in this study was literature review with sources from journals, books, and articles on electronic medical records, personalized medicine, as well as legal and ethical aspects related both domestically and abroad. Results: Ethical and legal challenges that can occurred in the use of electronic medical records in the personalized medicine era include security and ownership of data, legal responsibility, genomic discrimination, and changes in the relationship between doctors and patients.Conclusion: Indonesia does not yet have specific regulations regarding data security, data ownership, and data sharing in the health sector. Further regulations regarding the use of electronic medical records in the personalized era are needed so that their implementation does not conflict with the ethics and laws that apply in Indonesia

Production Conditions

Innovators of in vitro meat (IVM) are convinced that this approach is the solution for problems related to current meat production and consumption, especially regarding animal welfare and environmental issues. However, the production conditions have yet to be fully clarified and there is still a lack of ethical discourses and critical debates on IVM. In consequence, discussion about the ethical justifiability and desirability of IVM remains hypothetical and we have to question those promises. This paper addresses the complex ethical aspects associated with IVM and the questions of whether, and under what conditions, the production of IVM represents an ethically justifiable solution for existing problems, especially in view of animal welfare, the environment, and society. There are particular hopes regarding the benefits that IVM could bring to animal welfare and the environment, but there are also strong doubts about their ethical benefits.
