Рождение, страдание, болезни и смерть, благодаря успехам медицины, оказались в ряду вызовов, кажущихся новыми и требующих новых ответов. Светская биоэтика сформировалась как ответ на требования новых биомедицинских технологий в контексте культуры, фрагментированной моральным плюрализмом. Несмотря на то, что она обещала объединить людей, разделенных разными религиозными взглядами и моральными ценностями, это обещание оказалось невыполнимым. Разум в одиночку не может обеспечить общепринятое («каноническое») содержательное моральное руководство или создать нравственную общность, способную объединить всех людей. Христианская биоэтика как часть образа жизни, основанного на подлинной религии, предлагает понимание, содержание и смысл там, где светская биоэтика потерпела неудачу. Для христиан разрешение биоэтических противоречий будет найдено не в обращении к основополагающим рациональным аргументам или отдельным цитатам из Священного Писания, но лишь в христианской общине, объединенной подлинной верой.

Birth, suffering, disability, disease and death were by medicine’s successes placed within a context of seemingly novel challenges that cried out for new responses. Secular bioethics rose in response to the demands of these new biomedical technologies in the context of a culture fragmented in moral pluralism. While secular bioethics promised to unite persons separated by diverse religious and moral assumption, this is a promise that could not be fulfilled. Reason alone cannot provide canonical, content-full moral guidance or justify a moral community capable of binding all persons. Christian bioethics, as part of a way of life embedded in authentic worship, offers content, meaning and understanding where secular bioethics has failed. For Christians, resolution of bioethical controversies will not be found through appeals to foundational rational arguments or isolated scriptural quotations, but only in a Christian community united in authentic faith.
