Hastings Cent Rep. 1990 Jul-Aug;20(4):S1.
The social and medical ethos within which bioethics emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s was constituted in part by religious questions and religious thinkers. However, this identifiably religious influence on bioethics subsequently seemed to decline. How has this diminished impact come about, and what significance, if any, does it hold for the ways we now do bioethics? What difference, finally, do religious perspectives make for bioethics? These were the overarching questions that led the Hastings Center to initiate a research project on the relation of Religion and Bioethics, culminating in this special supplement to the Hastings Center Report.
20世纪60年代末70年代初生物伦理学出现时的社会和医学思潮，部分是由宗教问题和宗教思想家构成的。然而，这种对生物伦理学明显的宗教影响后来似乎有所减弱。这种影响的减弱是如何发生的，它对我们现在进行生物伦理学的方式有什么意义（如果有意义的话）？最后，宗教观点对生物伦理学有什么不同影响？这些就是促使黑斯廷斯中心发起一项关于宗教与生物伦理学关系的研究项目的首要问题，该项目最终促成了《黑斯廷斯中心报告》的这一特别增刊。
