Abstract—Due to the increasing sophistication and complexity of autonomous machines, Artificial Intelligence, Computerized Decision Support Systems (CDSS), natural language question-answering robots, and social / emotive medical robots, new medical ethics conundrums are arising. Unresolved questions revolve around autonomy, responsibility, empathy, trust, moral agency and the social and economic impacts of medical robots. 

Index Terms—robotic ethics; medical and healthcare robots; technology and morality
