Abstract

Health is, for most of us, one of the most important things, if not the most important: “The main thing is health!” If health is regarded as a “conditional good” (Kersting 2012), i.e., a condition for leading one’s own, self-determined life, ethical questions are not far away—especially if institutional frameworks are essential for health or healthcare (Callahan 1998; Gruskin et al. 2005), and the expectation of the population for a technology-based healthcare system are enormously high (e.g., Reiser 2009, 1978; Savulescu 2007; Niederlag et al. 2008).
