You can also incorporate database specific terms and techniques, for example:

Compendex records may include controlled term: philosophical aspects. Try: ethics OR ethical OR "philosophical aspects"

INSPEC records may include controlled term: ethical aspects

PubMed has a bioethics collection, to search within it use: bioethics [sb]
