Area of Science:

  • Bioethics
  • Sociology of Ethics
  • Healthcare Ethics

Background:

  • Bioethics traditionally relies on globalized principles and rational techniques for healthcare evaluation.
  • Societal shifts including pluralism and declining trust in authority necessitate a new bioethical approach.
  • The decline of shared moralities calls for a move beyond expert-led critique.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the transition of bioethics in response to societal and cultural dynamics in Western societies.
  • To explore the implications of these transitions for bioethical methodologies and the role of the bioethicist.
  • To present a case study illustrating a new, embedded approach to bioethics in elderly care innovation.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of societal and cultural dynamics influencing bioethics.
  • Conceptual shift from external critique to embedded ethics and interactive practice improvement.
  • Case study of an elderly care innovation involving stakeholder participation.

Main Results:

  • Bioethics is moving from external critique and rights defense towards embedded ethics and responsibility.
  • The evolving bioethicist role involves relational sensitivity, reciprocal dialogue, and knowledge integration.
  • A case study demonstrates stakeholder participation, particularly from older adults, in healthcare innovation.

Conclusions:

  • Bioethics requires a paradigm shift towards embedded, interactive, and responsibility-focused practices.
  • The bioethicist's role is evolving to be a facilitator of dialogue and integrator of diverse knowledge.
  • Stakeholder engagement, especially of end-users, is crucial for ethical healthcare innovation.
