Potter on Bioethics (55 years ago)

 

Van Rensselaer Potter (1911-2001) was a biochemist who devoted his career to the study of cancer, and in 1970 he proposed the term “bioethics” to emphasize the two most important ingredients in achieving what he called “new wisdom”- biological knowledge and human values.  Article “Bioethics, the Science of Survival” (1970)
