Is there only one bioethics? Is a global bioethics possible? Or,
instead, does one encounter a plurality of bioethical approaches
shaped by local cultural and national traditions? Some thirty years
ago a field of applied ethics emerged under the rubric bioethics'.
Little thought was given at the time to the possibility that this
field bore the imprint of a particular American set of moral
commitments. This volume explores the plurality of moral
perspectives shaping bioethics. It is inspired by Kazumasa
Hoshino's critical reflections on the differences in moral
perspectives separating Japanese and American bioethics. The essays
include contributions from Hong Kong, China, Japan, Texas, the
United States, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. The volume offers a
rich perspective of the range of approaches to bioethics. It brings
into question whether there is unambiguously one ethics for
bioethics to apply.
