Communication Ethics and Bioethics: An Interface

摘要

In this essay we discuss Michael J. Hyde's research program in communication ethics and how it serves as a foundation for work in the area of bioethics. The discussion emphasizes three related matters: 1) how the phenomena of the call of conscience, acknowledgment, and our metaphysical desire for perfection inform the ontological status of communication ethics, 2) how communication ethics is a necessary concern for bioethics scholars, policymakers, researchers, and others interested in assessing the ongoing debate over the benefits and burdens of biotechnology, and 3) how biotechnology affects our collective understanding of human dignity.View full textDownload full textKeywordsCommunication Ethics, Bioethics, Biotechnology Debate, Call of Conscience, Acknowledgment, Perfection, Human DignityRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/15358590903370258
