Wednesday (15/06) Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities again held a virtual discussion forum entitled Raboan Discussion Forum.

Gregorius Yoga Panji Asmara, S.Ked., S.H., M.H., C.L.A. Meanwhile, the moderator was dr. Galuh Dyah Fatmala.

Neither doctors nor patients want a medical dispute to occur. However, a doctor has rights and obligations that must be carried out. Likewise, with patients, they have the right to get maximum health services from doctors. A patient has the right to file a criminal complaint when he feels he has received inappropriate services. So legal disputes between doctors and patients are things that can happen in the practice of health services. read more

Wednesday (08/06), the Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities (CBMH FK-KMK UGM) held the Raboan Discussion Forum again. The first Raboan after the Eid holiday featured a sharing ideas segment about a research project by CBMH FK-KMK UGM titled Sharing Ideas: Exploring Perceptions of Indonesian Doctors and Legal Experts on Human Enhancement Technology (HET). The virtual forum presented speakers Nabila Puspakesuma S.Psi M.Sc and moderator dr. Wika Hartanti, MIH.

Nabila explained that the phenomenon that became the background of HET’s research was integrating technology into everyday life, which is now widely used. Especially in this research is in the medical field. The presence of technology is actually used for healing patients, but along with the times, technology is also used to improve the human condition, including athletics, aesthetics, and cognitive performance. This phenomenon has the potential to create potential and is also legal. The presence of HET can be a challenge for the sustainability of implementing ethics and laws that have been applied so far. So there needs to be initial research that discusses the public’s view of this technology.
“This technology will challenge the legal concept of responsibility and requires a new approach to regulation,” said Nabila. read more
