In this paper, we provide a critical reflection on the significance of media debate analyses for bioethics, which lies in the possibility of investigating the unique intersection of bioethics, politics, society, and healthcare. Through a rapid scoping review, we outline the characteristics of published media debate analyses and show the heterogeneity of the field in terms of methodologies, academic disciplines, and topics covered. We identify four levels on which these publications contribute to bioethics research: (1) by providing a descriptive empirical context; (2) by describing ethical aspects of a health topic; (3) by identifying and evaluating moral problems; and (4) by providing an ethical evaluation of media debates. Based on this, we outline basic methodological requirements, address the limitations of media debate analyses for bioethics, and indicate recent and future advancements in the field.</p>","PeriodicalId":55348,"journal":{"name":"BMC Medical Ethics","volume":"26 1","pages":"85"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12231874/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144565524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
