Abstract

The humanity was more and more dissatisfied with its skills, especially because they think that our possibility to see, hear or use our sense has limits. In that context, in the XX century were developed a lot of tools for sustaining the medical care. The application of robots in medicine is a new way of developing medicine and could assure a lot of new facilities for humanity. But, of course, for developing robots with high performance a lot of resources are needed and in that way is a privilege for the rich countries. The paper tries to analyze the ethical implication, not only of using the robots in medicine, but, in the same time, of developing the intelligence robots. In respect to this, we will try to pay attention to the ethical dilemma and, of course to correlate the technical problems with patients' needs and rights, with health care services and hospital facilities.
