Post-Christian bioethics.
Agreeing in large part with Cameron, Robert D. Orr nonetheless raises some questions. He points out the theological origins of bioethics in the 1960s, while admitting that the field has since become secularized. Autonomy's challenge to Hippocratic paternalism has brought real benefits but also abuses. Bioethics addresses more than procedural matters; it deals in issues of real substance.
