    Summary

    Bioethics should move beyond value clarification to embrace critique and integration. These agendas challenge underlying assumptions and unify competing values for more robust ethical solutions.

    Area of Science:

    • Bioethics
    • Philosophy of Science
    • Moral Philosophy

    Background:

    • The dominant approach in bioethics is 'value clarification'.
    • This approach focuses on defining and understanding existing values.
    • However, it may not adequately address complex ethical dilemmas.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To argue for two additional, more ambitious agendas in bioethics: critique and integration.
    • To demonstrate how these agendas can enhance bioethical discourse and practice.
    • To propose a vision for a more comprehensive and effective field of bioethics.

    Main Methods:

    • Critical examination of the role of value clarification.
    • Conceptual analysis of the proposed agendas of critique and integration.

  • Identification of examples illustrating the application and potential of critique and integration.

    • Main Results:

    • Critique involves challenging the unarticulated presuppositions in bioethical discourse.
    • Integration focuses on unifying competing values to transcend win/lose outcomes.
    • A 'critical integrative bioethics' is essential for the field's future.

    Conclusions:

    • Bioethics requires more than value clarification to address complex moral issues.
    • Critique and integration offer powerful tools for deeper ethical analysis and resolution.
    • Adopting these agendas will lead to more compelling and socially relevant bioethical scholarship.
