Isi artikel

Julia Tao’s insightful and thought provoking volume, Cross-Cultural Perspectives on the (Im)Possibility of Global Bioethics, is as much on the nature and depth of our contemporary cultural conflicts as it is on biomedical ethics. As a field of inquiry, bioethics covets an international political forum. Bioethics lays claim to a universal account of proper moral deportment, including the foundations of law and public policy, as well as the moral authority for national and international institutions to guarantee uniformity of practice.1 Bioethical expertise is widely sought in the framing of public and institutional policy: witness, for example, the broad advisory role of the President’s Council on Bioethics in the United States, as well as the European Bioethics Convention, which sought not merely to explain or analyze moral issues but to justify political resolutions.2 Similarly, bioethicists regularly provide testimony as expert witnesses in courts of law.
