Criticism of bioethics
4) Criticism of bioethics
Criticism of "bioethics" is needed because it often lacks an insight into the meaning of life, and it also lacks a critical view of the essence of contemporary civilization that has created bioethical problems. Though bioethics research is expanding around the world, it's time to renovate it by introducing the viewpoint of life studies. I tried this in my book, Life Studies Approaches to Bioethics (2001), and other papers; some of them (1 2) were written in English. And it is important to connect bioethics to "environmental ethics" because our attitudes toward life are closely connected with our attitudes toward nature, the environment. I wrote a series of papers in Japanese.
