Since its birth in USA Bioethics appears as a specifically moral science. However, in this case the terme moral does not refer to a formal point of view, which were added to the object, like in conventional applied Ethics, but the moral perspective has to be verified through the anthropological experience in which the specific bioethical concepts are placed. As anthropological experience it requires to count on biological sciences, which define what we understand as health and its recovery. Our next question is whether bioethical conclusions are unequivocal or prudential judgements or rather a combination of both. Last but not least we examine how Moral Theology affects Personalist Bioethics.
自生物伦理学在美国诞生以来,它就表现为一门独特的道德科学。然而,在这种情况下,“道德”一词并非指像传统应用伦理学那样附加于对象之上的形式观点,而是道德视角必须通过特定生物伦理概念所处的人类学经验来加以验证。作为人类学经验,它需要依靠生物科学,这些科学界定了我们所理解的健康及其恢复。我们接下来的问题是,生物伦理结论是明确的判断还是审慎的判断,或者是两者的结合。最后但同样重要的是,我们考察道德神学如何影响人格主义生物伦理学。
