Since bioethics seems to now cover all aspects of health and medical care,
I would like to include a discussion of the bioethical issues of the
Internet itself in my thesis.  For example, what social responsibility do
we as health educators, physicians, nurses, etc., have towards the public
who access the Internet regarding accuracy of information, amount of
information, confidentiality, and the like?  How is the face of medicine
changing now that the public has more access to the same information a
physician does?  What about the forums where a person can e-mail a doctor
about their medical problem and get a response from a physician?

I would like any and all opinions, thoughts, feelings, and predictions.
