Ethical/ Bioethical Dilemma in Health Care Position Papers Comments
You did a good job researching and writing the paper but you critical analysis needed additional development with the integrations of the bioethical principles/models. You mentioned principles in the introduction but not in the body of the paper . You also included some facts with out citations. When you have a long list of authors, list all names first, then of you cite them again you can list the first name et al.
