Abstract

This essay presents complementarity as a novel feature of bioethical pluralism. First introduced by Neils Bohr in conjunction with quantum physics, complementarity in bioethics occurs when different perspectives account for equally important features of a situation but are mutually exclusive. Unlike conventional approaches to bioethical pluralism, which attempt in one fashion or another to isolate and choose between different perspectives, complementarity accepts all perspectives. As a result, complementarity results in a state of holistic, dynamic tension, rather than one that yields singular or final moral judgments.

摘要

本文提出互补性是生物伦理多元主义的一个新特征。互补性最初由尼尔斯·玻尔结合量子物理学提出，在生物伦理学中，当不同视角解释一种情况的同等重要特征但相互排斥时，就会出现互补性。与传统的生物伦理多元主义方法不同，传统方法试图以某种方式在不同视角之间进行孤立和选择，而互补性接受所有视角。因此，互补性导致一种整体的、动态的紧张状态，而不是产生单一或最终道德判断的状态。
