I reflect on the past, present, and future of the field of bioethics. In so doing, I offer a very situated overview of where bioethics has been, where it now is, where it seems to be going, where I think we could do better, and where I dearly hope the field will be heading. I also propose three ways of re-orienting our theoretic tools to guide us in a new direction: (1) adopt an ethics of responsibility; (2) explore the responsibilities of various kinds of actors and relationships among them; (3) expand the types of participants engaged in bioethics.
我反思了生物伦理学领域的过去、现在和未来。在这样做的过程中，我非常详细地概述了生物伦理学的发展历程、现状、未来趋势、我认为我们可以做得更好的地方以及我衷心希望该领域的发展方向。我还提出了三种重新定位我们的理论工具的方法，以指导我们朝着新的方向前进：（1）采用责任伦理；（2）探索各种行为者的责任及其之间的关系；（3）扩大参与生物伦理学的参与者类型。
