摘要
In academic circles and the no-nonsense boardrooms of transnational companies, it is acknowledged that bioethical issues are central to the societal controversy generated by recent developments in biotechnology. Human dignity, ownership of life, indigenous rights, animal welfare, the intrinsic value of the environment are all issues that divide society, and link biotechnology to ethics. The question is why has bioethics become so prominent in current public debate?.
