Question 1

Correct Answer:

Verified

The simple answer is no,because no human is capable of full objectivity.We all have our biases and perceptual distortions that affect how we see and interpret things.For example,a bioethicist who deeply believes that human life begins at conception (i.e. ,when sperm and egg are united)would have a difficult time being completely objective about the ethics of embryonic stem cell research.However,the real question is whether bioethicists are biased in favor of the company that is paying their salary.On this question,the answer is less clear.Is everyone "loyal" to the firm paying their salary? As evidenced by the existence of whistle blowers,the answer is clearly no--some people are able to,and do,disagree with their employers.Bioethicists,by their training and their position,should be better prepared to dissent than other employees.
