Abstract
Bioethics and human rights were conceived in the
aftermath of the Holocaust, when moral outrage reenergized
the outmoded concepts of “medical ethics” and
“natural rights,” renaming them “bioethics,”
and “human rights” to give them new purpose.
Originally, the principles of bioethics were a means for
protecting human rights, but through a historical accident,
bioethical principles came to be considered as fundamental.
In this paper I reflect on the parallel development and
accidental divorce of bioethics and human rights to urge
their reconciliation.
