Bioethics in the third millennium: Some critical anticipations

Its promises to the contrary notwithstanding, bioethics is plural. There is a diversity of content-full moral understandings of the good and the right . Moreover, there is no secular means in principle to set this diversity as ide without begging the question. This moral diversity exists both as a soc iological condition and as a moral epistemological constraint. Without succ umbing to a metaphysical scepticism or moral relativism, the bioethics of t he future, if it is to be honest, should learn how to live with robust mora l diversity.
