  • A.Philosophy of biology
  • B.Philosophy of medicine
  • C.Bioethics
  • D.Environmental ethics

Answer: C

The branch is called bioethics.

Bioethics studies the ethical questions raised by biology and medicine: euthanasia, abortion, genetic engineering, organ transplantation, research on human subjects and the like. The term was popularised in the 1970s by Van Rensselaer Potter.

Philosophy of biology and philosophy of medicine study the concepts and methods of those sciences rather than their ethical issues. Environmental ethics deals with our moral relation to nature, not with medicine.
