Abstract
ABSTRACT:
This article presents a case for transforming traditional bioethics into "Bios-ethics." This exposition relies on three propositions: (1) the climate emergency is the "Bios emergency"; (2) in the Bios emergency, bioethics must be replaced by Bios-ethics; and (3) the top and overwhelming priority of Bios-ethics is to address the Bios emergency. Biocentrism, habitat, and environmental ethics are discussed in light of their contribution to the development of Bios-ethics, and potential lines of research in Bios-ethics are outlined. The urgency of undertaking substantive conceptual and practical innovations in response to our current danger is emphasized throughout.
ABSTRACT:This article presents a case for transforming traditional bioethics into "Bios-ethics".这一论述基于三个命题:(1) 气候紧急情况就是 "生物紧急情况";(2) 在生物紧急情况下,生物伦理学必须被生物伦理学所取代;(3) 生物伦理学的首要任务是解决生物紧急情况。根据生物中心主义、栖息地和环境伦理学对生物伦理学发展的贡献,讨论了生物中心主义、栖息地和环境伦理学,并概述了生物伦理学的潜在研究方向。该书自始至终都在强调为应对我们当前的危险而进行实质性概念和实践创新的紧迫性。
期刊介绍:
Perspectives in Biology and Medicine, an interdisciplinary scholarly journal whose readers include biologists, physicians, students, and scholars, publishes essays that place important biological or medical subjects in broader scientific, social, or humanistic contexts. These essays span a wide range of subjects, from biomedical topics such as neurobiology, genetics, and evolution, to topics in ethics, history, philosophy, and medical education and practice. The editors encourage an informal style that has literary merit and that preserves the warmth, excitement, and color of the biological and medical sciences.
