Bioethics traffics in matters moral. As such, bioethics frequently bumps up against religion, offering an ideal arena to examine how the sacred and the secular encounter each other in modern medicine. In this essay I consider two places where bioethics and religion intersect: 1) the response of bioethics to the universal problem of suffering, and 2) the professional proselytizing or "missionizing work" that bioethics does in order to make a place for itself among the professions of the life sciences.
生物伦理学涉及道德问题。因此,生物伦理学常常与宗教发生碰撞,提供了一个理想的领域来审视在现代医学中神圣与世俗是如何相互接触的。在本文中,我将探讨生物伦理学与宗教相交的两个方面:1)生物伦理学对痛苦这一普遍问题的回应,以及2)生物伦理学为在生命科学各专业中谋得一席之地而进行的专业传教或“传教工作”。
