New publication on translational ethics
There is an epistemological gap between theoretical and practical approaches to bioethics. A new article from Global Health Priorities researcher Kristine Bærøe aims at helping to bridge this gap.
Main content
In the article published in BMC Medical Ethics, Kristine Bærøe provides a conceptual framework of the various ways translational between the two modes of 'doing bioethics' can take place. These identified 'translational movements' can be used to systematize a self-reflexive, comprehensive discussion of ways to justify bioethical conclusions. Also, when thoroughly justified, they can be used as building blocks in a new, ethical discipline labelled 'translational ethics'.
