Contemporary biomedical ethics and environmental ethics share a common ancestry in Aldo Leopold's and Van Rensselaer Potter's initial broad visions of a connected biosphere. Over the past five decades, the two fields have become strangers. Public health ethics, a new subfield of bioethics, emerged from the belly of contemporary biomedical ethics and has evolved over the past 25 years. It has moved from its traditional concern with the tension between individual autonomy and community health to a wider focus on social justice and solidarity. Public health has a broad focus that includes individual, community, and environmental health. Public health ethics attends to these broad commitments reflected in the increasing concern with the connectedness of health of individuals to the health of populations, to the health of animals, to the health of the environment; it is well situated to reconnect all three "fields" of ethics to promote a healthier planet.
当代生物医学伦理学和环境伦理学在 Aldo Leopold 和 Van Rensselaer Potter 的最初的整体生物圈愿景中有着共同的渊源。在过去的五十年中，这两个领域已经变得陌生。公共卫生伦理学是生物伦理学的一个新分支，它从当代生物医学伦理学的核心发展而来，并在过去 25 年中不断演变。它已经从传统上关注个人自主权和社区健康之间的紧张关系，转变为更广泛地关注社会正义和团结。公共卫生有一个广泛的关注点，包括个人、社区和环境健康。公共卫生伦理学关注这些广泛的承诺，反映在日益关注个人健康与人群健康、动物健康、环境健康的联系上；它非常适合重新连接所有三个“领域”的伦理学，以促进更健康的地球。
