Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic, climate migration, and biodiversity loss are examples of contemporary crises which, as Van Rensselaer Potter suggests, would benefit from a rapprochement between Bio and Ethics in order to mitigate the damage. Future bioethicists will have to continue this Potterian quest by opening up the field of bioethics to new interdisciplinary collaboration and themes of study, going beyond biomedical technologies and the life sciences, to include business, corporations, finance, the market and human consumption, production and demography, all of which have significant influences on the local allocation of care and on the global future of ecosystems.
