The present contribution opens a reflection on what can adaptation mechanisms, inherent to multi-agent systems, bring for the implementation of ethical principles during the design and the implementation of e-health applications. Several works propose ethics approaches. But, since ethics values differ from one culture to another, it is not possible to have a general approach which can be used every time. The intuition is that adaptation capabilities is a good start. This aim of this paper is to raise ethics challenges in eHealth and discuss across interdisciplinary debate questions such as: which ethics to adopt for eHealth applications? How to implement ethics in eHealth applications? How can adaptation features help implementing the identified ethics challenges and questions?
