Bioethics developed as an academic and clinicaldiscipline during
the later part of the 20th century due to a variety of factors.
Crucial to this development was the increased secularization of
American culture as well as the dissolution of medicine as a
quasi-guild with its own professional ethics. In the context of
this moral vacuum, bioethics came into existence. Its raison d'etre
was opposition to the allegedpaternalism of the medical community
and traditional moral frameworks, yet at the same time it set
itself up as a source of moral authority with respect to biomedical
decision making. Bioethics serves as biopolitics in so far as it
attempts to make determinations about how individuals ought to make
medical decisions and then attempts to codify that in
law.Progressivism and secularism are ultimately the ideology of
bioethics."
