Theological and secular voices in bioethics have drifted into separate silos. Such a separation results in part from (1) theologians focusing less on conveying ideas in ways that contribute to a pluralistic and public bioethical discourse and (2) the dwindling receptivity of religious arguments within secular bioethics. This essay works against these drifts by putting forward an argument that does not bounce around a religious echo-chamber, but instead demonstrates how insights of Christian anthropology can be meaningfully responsive to secular bioethics' rightful concerns with inequality and injustice. We offer core concepts from Christian bioethics that encourage dialogue with secular and theological bioethicists. The theologically-grounded concepts, human dignity, sin, and the common good, provide intellectual resources to address major areas of bioethical concern that remain unresolved.
神学和世俗的声音在生命伦理学中已经分道扬镳。这种分离部分源于（1）神学家较少关注以有助于多元化和公共生命伦理学话语的方式传达思想，以及（2）宗教论点在世俗生命伦理学中的接受度逐渐下降。本文通过提出一个论点来反对这种倾向，该论点不是在宗教回音室中反弹，而是展示了基督教人类学的观点如何能够对世俗生命伦理学中对不平等和不公正的合理关注做出有意义的回应。我们提供了基督教生命伦理学的核心概念，以鼓励与世俗和神学生命伦理学家进行对话。基于神学的概念，即人的尊严、罪和共同利益，为解决仍然悬而未决的主要生命伦理问题提供了知识资源。
