Summary
Current medical ethics and bioethics, as well as neurosurgical ethics in particular, are derived from a number of historical sources. Early medical ethics became increasingly deontological, and transformed into bioethics with increasing societal impact with scientific interventions. Neurosurgeons have been involved in ethical issues since the inception of the field.
