| Summary: | One of bioethics' most singular strengths is fostering debates on human conundrums, not those relegated to dusty archives, but those forming the moving, developing present. Bioethics is future looking, not quite crystal ball gazing but struggling to ascertain what the consequences of our choices and actions will be. And, although the methodology is still to be fully articulated (see CQ Vol. 16, No. 4, Fall 2007 “An Ethical Competition: The Method in Bioethics Research”) a challenge is to navigate intellectual errors such as a Manichaean oversimplification of seeing things in black and white or falling prey to moral relativism where we are blind to blurred distinctions. |
