生物倫理學提供了一個論壇，討論當前問題所引發的倫理問題，例如：發展中國家的國際合作臨床研究、器官移植和異種移植、老齡化和人類壽命、艾滋病、基因組學和干細胞研究。這些問題與具體的倫理、法律和政策問題有關，或與討論這些問題時使用的基本概念、原則和理論有關。

Bioethics provides a forum for well-argued articles on the ethical questions raised by current issues such as: international collaborative clinical research in developing countries, organ transplants and xenotransplantation, ageing and the human lifespan, AIDS, genomics, and stem cell research. These questions are considered in relation to concrete ethical, legal and policy problems, or in terms of the fundamental concepts, principles and theories used in discussions of such problems.
