I dislike biomedical ethicists as much as most people here, but the anger here seems way out of proportion to their actual influence. They don't "dictate" anything; for the most part they're a bunch of noisy busybodies who make statements which get quoted by journalists but otherwise influence nothing. For the most part, market demand dictates interventions and bioethicists are essentially an irrelevant speed bump in this process. If you don't like them, you can just ignore them.
