Can the social sciences save bioethics?
John Evans proposes some ways in which the social sciences can improve bioethics: by recognizing that it is a profession, that it embrace the four principles advanced by Beauchamp and Childress over the years, and that ethical commissions and committees make use of social science research to determine and use the values of the public. All three of these proposals are challenged.
