Is there an Asian bioethics? Some people might consider it blasphemous even to ask this question. But this paper asks it not so much to seek an answer as to clarify what it could actually mean. The idea is to sort out the presuppositions and possible implications of asserting the existence of an Asian bioethics. In the end, this paper makes the following points: (1) In the attempt to assert an Asian identity, one must be careful not to commit the mistake of universalizing (among Asians) a single Asian perspective; and (2) In the face of pluralism and multi-culturalism, there is some room for a kind of universalist ethics that is founded on a collage of culturally inspired perspectives rather than on a single standard of morality.
存在一种亚洲生物伦理学吗？有些人可能认为提出这个问题甚至是亵渎神明的。但本文提出这个问题，并非是要寻求答案，而是要阐明它实际上可能意味着什么。其目的是梳理出断言亚洲生物伦理学存在的前提假设和可能的影响。最后，本文提出以下观点：（1）在试图确立亚洲身份时，必须小心谨慎，避免犯将单一的亚洲视角（在亚洲人当中）普遍化的错误；（2）面对多元主义和多元文化主义，有一种基于多种文化启发的视角拼贴而非单一道德标准的普遍主义伦理学存在一定空间。
