Preferred term

history of bioethics  

Definition

  • The history of bioethics relating to death and dying is, like any philosophical endeavor, about questions and answers. The fundamental challenge to developing a cohesive and consistent approach to such a complex history is that the questions are raised in a pluralistic context in which participants enter the discussion with a variety of religious, ideological, philosophical, educational, and vocational backgrounds.
