Bioethics is the exploration of moral and ethical questions surrounding life, health, science, medicine, and the environment. While the roots of bioethics lie in philosophy and theology, today’s bioethics requires collaboration among many additional areas of study, including law, medicine, biology, politics, sociology, history, economics, and business. The highest calling of bioethics is to be a mediator between scientific progress and societal concerns, to be the guardians of the future. Bioethical discussions involve fundamental concerns about the nature of humanity, the relationship between secularity and faith, and defining the kind of world we want to live in.
