| | Bioethics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Bioethics concerns the ethical questions that arise in the relationships between biology, medicine, cybernetics, politics, law, philosophy, and theology. | | | Buddhist bioethics, in general, is characterised by a naturalistic outlook that leads to a rationalistic, pragmatic approach. | | | Bioethicists often focus on using philosophy to help analyze issues, and philosophical bioethicists such as Peter Singer tend to treat the field as a branch of moral or ethical philosophy. |

| | Feminist Bioethics |
| | Though feminists working in bioethics speak in many different voices, they share significant commonalities, both in their criticisms of dominant structures and in their efforts to build a more adequate framework that is responsive to the disparate situation of women and other groups whose health needs are under-represented. | | | Some critics associate these shortcomings with the abstract character of bioethical theory, the explanatory framework that draws on multiple strands of discourse to ground analysis of research and clinical practices. | | | Three goals have been central: extension of bioethical theory to integrate concerns about race, class, ethnicity and gender; reexamination of the principles of bioethics; and creation of new strategies and methodologies that interject the standpoints of socially marginalized people. |
