Abstract

In bioethics as in other areas of health policy, historical institutional factors can shape policy independently of interests or public opinion. This article finds policy divergence among countries with similar national moral views of stem cell research, and explains that divergence as the product of path-dependency.

摘要

在生物伦理学领域，与其他卫生政策领域一样，历史制度因素可以在没有利益或公众意见影响的情况下塑造政策。本文发现，在对干细胞研究持有相似国家道德观点的国家之间，政策存在分歧，并将这种分歧解释为路径依赖的产物。
