本文试图展示社会科学研究如何以有意义且公平的方式为哲学生命伦理学做出贡献。它建立在蕾妮·福克斯（Renee Fox）、巴里·霍夫马斯特（Barry Hoffmaster）和查尔斯·博斯克（Charles Bosk）等作者的著作中对生命伦理学的社会科学批判的基础上，提出了严肃对待社会科学的批判性生命伦理学的特征。社会科学批判声称，传统的哲学生命伦理学赋予理想化的理性思维以主导作用，并倾向于排除社会和文化因素，将其置于无关紧要的地位。另一个问题是生命伦理学假设社会现实与哲学理论划分相同的路线/类别。批判生命伦理学要求生命伦理学家将他们的询问扎根于实证研究，使用证据挑战理论，反思并怀疑其他生物伦理学家、科学家和临床医生的主张。目的是对生活道德经验进行严格的规范分析。
This article attempts to show a way in which social science research can contribute in a meaningful and equitable way to philosophical bioethics. It builds on the social science critique of bioethics present in the work of authors such as Renee Fox, Barry Hoffmaster and Charles Bosk, proposing the characteristics of a critical bioethics that would take social science seriously.The social science critique claims that traditional philosophical bioethics gives a dominant role to idealised, rational thought, and tends to exclude social and cultural factors, relegating them to the status of irrelevancies. Another problem is the way in which bioethics assumes social reality divides down the same lines/categories as philosophical theories.Critical bioethics requires bioethicists to root their enquires in empirical research, to challenge theories using evidence, to be reflexive and to be sceptical about the claims of other bioethicists, scientists and clinicians. The aim is to produce a rigorous normative analysis of lived moral experience.
