Normkultur versus Nutzenkultur - Über kulturelle Kontexte von Bioethik und Biorecht

The keywords “norm” and “utility” indicate two fundamental systems of orientation running through contemporary life, either complementing or displacing each other. Conflicts in the field of bioethics can also be read through the lens of this contrast. The papers in this volume, from the fields of philosophy, theology, law, medicine and natural science, attempt this in an interdisciplinary exchange.
