| 520 | |a The advent of new biomedical technologies has given rise to an emerging area of sociocultural discourse. The sociocultural perception of these technologies is contingent upon a number of factors, including the prevailing attitudes within dominant religious traditions. Religious bioethics is fundamentally distinct from secular bioethics. The former is grounded in unchanging sacred scriptures and traditions, which inform its normative provisions. Consequently, a shift in the perception of technology must be accompanied by a corresponding shift in how religious institutions interpret scripture and tradition. This article employs the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) as a case study to investigate how religious institutions can adapt to changing societal and cultural demands, and whether religious moral decrees can evolve in response to shifting sociocultural discourse. A discourse analysis of the ROC's interactions with the medical community and the general public reveals the following: To maintain influence with its followers, a religious institution should not categorically reject new advances in biomedicine. Rather, it should engage in a comprehensive bioethical analysis of the challenges posed by each emerging technology. In this process, it is valuable to define boundaries based on religious doctrine—limits that a believer must not exceed to maintain communion with the deity—while allowing for the use of new biomedical solutions. | ||
