Question

1. According to Lisa M. Lee, in “A Bridge Back to the Future,” bioethics and environmental ethics share a common history. Over time, these two disciplines have diverged. Lee believes there needs to be a reconnection of these two fields given the importance of the relationship human health, community health, and the health of natural ecosystems within which human systems are embedded. According to the original broad vision espoused by Potter, Bioethics could serve as a bridge between which two areas of study?

Answer 1

Bioethics refers to a relationship between the medicine and the biology in making new innovation to the disease condition and finding a way for better health of an individual, community and the environment. Public health ethics has been a recent concern and therefore it can be a bridge between the human health and environmental health to stay healthy and free of illness.
