Title & Abstract:

“Absolutely Essential”: Bioethics and the Rules-Based International Order

I am writing a book about the place of bioethics in the international rules-based order, the system of regulations, institutions, conventions and standards put in place by the international community in the years after World War II. I argue that modern medical ethics (“bioethics”) is a creature of this system. Its diminution would have substantial effects on certain assumptions prevalent in bioethics.
