Abstract
|
|
|
In this thesis I focus on the fact that the bio and life related conception changes from being an essential and inevitable issue to an issue of which its denotation can be decided by the discourse of scientific knowledge. I stress that with the production of the scientific knowledge and its accumulation there is increasing uncertainty surrounding bio and life related issues. And furthermore I persue the differences between scientific judgment and normative ethical judgment in dealing with the problems of uncertainty due to the increase of science and technologies that meddle with phenomena of life. Based on this, my object is to ponder upon how we can approach this uncertainty as researchers who work in separate fields of science.
Through the ELSI program which I participated in the 2000’s, I felt strongly that there is need to surpass simply monitoring or evaluating laboratories, conducting joint researches, etc, and move towards questioning the direction in which we aim to foster science and scientists. With the awareness of this pressing problem on my mind and with hopes of an alternative ELSI model, I purport to make proposals on the importance of the principle of prevention, the role of the narrative in bioethics, the need for institutionalization of humanities education in science fields, and the new partnership between bioscience and social science.
