Hi my name is Buket. I'm a Molecular Biology master student and I am editing the page was given to me as an assignment for Recent Developments in Biotechnology (MLC501) in Uskudar University. https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Uskudar_University,_Istanbul,_Turkiye/MLC501_Recent_Developments_in_Biotechnology_2022-2023_Fall_(2022-2023)/home

Claims that this article supports the political left[edit]

The intro shows a clear leaning to the politcal left, with how it brings up that "many bioethicists are simply christians in sheeps clothing" point.

---

Deleting references to the implicit politics shows a "clear leaning" to the political right. That many conservatives see bioethics as a possible replacement for abortion issue or as a means for expanding the anti-abortion constituency is no secret. Avoiding the all too obvious is hardly the expression of a neutral point of view.

Why is this a lean to the right? You are attributing views to me that I do not have. As for "avoiding the obvious", you may miss the point. We cannot make anti-right (or anti-left) political statements in an encyclopedia. See our [[[NPOV]] policy for more details. I would agree with you that people on the political right are using certain bioethical issues as a hammer to push their policies. So do people on the political left. (The question, who is right to do so?!) But that isn't quite the subject of this specific article; this specific article is about the field of philosophy known as bioethics. I agree with you that a discussion of how bioethics has been used for political purposes can and should be written; however, it would be more appropriate if it is only briefly discussed here, and then linked to another article.

Request for info on Christian bioethics[edit]

Why is there no list of Christian bioethics references?

Sadly, no one has yet volunteered the time to research this issue. It would be a great idea if someone did some research on this topic. Which universities, or seminaries, have specialists in Christian bioethics? Who are the most respected Christian authorities in this field? What are their major works? How do the stands of Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant Christianity compare and contrast on these issues? Any help would be appreciated. RK 03:16, Jul 11, 2004 (UTC)

Transhumanist biologists see their work as inherently ethical ? o.O[edit]

"Transhumanist biologists in particular can be prone to this misunderstanding, as they see their work as inherently ethical, and attacks on it as unethical."

Is there a reference to back this up ? I'm quite skeptic about the "transhumanist biologists see their work as inherently ethical" part. Flammifer 9 July 2005 13:02 (UTC)

Are you crazy? Transhumanism is a type of humanism! A secular movement in ethics!

Missing discussion on the definition of "harm"[edit]

Most modern and many ancient bioethics commitments center around "not doing harm". But the definition of harm, and how broad that definition should be is very limited. This article would be far more useful if it included a discussion of this controversy. Ftrotter (talk) 26 May 2018
