Isi artikel

Human aspirations are often those of the gods. Human beings aspire to infinite capacities in knowledge and wisdom in order to understand and control the world. In Genesis, for example, Adam and Eve are tempted to eat the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden so that they might be like God and have knowledge of good and evil. As a discipline bioethics often displays such godlike aspirations. It seeks to resolve moral controversies in ways that men and women with diverse moral views can accept. Bioethicists rarely think of the resolutions of moral controversies as particular to a set of assumptions, or moral values, or cultural point of view. Rather bioethics, as a discipline, is understood as transcending different points of view and developing content-full solutions to moral controversies (e.g., Beauchamp and Childress; Jonsen and Toulmin).
