Applied ethics, of which bioethics is a very developed branch, appears toward the end of the 20th century as a way of countering the challenges of new technologies in morally pluralistic societies. The core of bioethics is a civic ethic built on the basis of a deliberative process carried out in committees. This makes evident that moral competence is a concern of all agents, and contradicts the figure of the expert dedicated to resolving his own conflicts. |
