Vol 15, Iss 1 – Jan 2023

We are proud to present our January 2023 issue, the first issue of this year’s volume 15. The articles that open and close this issue of the Asian Bioethics Review each advocate for greater dialogue in bioethics, both in the realm of academia and more broadly in practice. As such, they frame the other contributions in this issue that amply demonstrate how diverse understandings of the role of bioethics across and within human cultures can inform and drive any such commitment to dialogue. The objective of promoting dialogue through diversity is central to the mission of ABR. We are very pleased to publish such a representative range of contributions that support this objective.

Vol 14, Iss 4 – Oct 2022

We are proud to present our October 2022 issue, the fourth and last issue of this year’s volume 14. A central theme of this issue is the idea of the meaning of key concepts that are ubiquitous in the field of bioethics. For example, what do we mean by ‘autonomy’ in any given cultural context? Who is a ‘mother’ outside the bounds of the conventional nuclear family? What does it mean to be a ‘sibling’ and what duties are owed to someone brought into the world in that role? Each of these questions and many more are addressed in this issue.

Vol 14, Iss 3 – July 2022

We are proud to present our July 2022 issue, the third issue of this year’s volume 14, with papers on bioethics and Islam, transplantation ethics, reproductive ethics, and COVID-19 vaccination.

Vol 14, Iss 2 – April 2022

Our April 2022 issue is a showcase of diversity of experience and perspective in bioethics across the Asian region. The geographical reach of this issue is particularly extensive, as is the range of types of scholarship, covering theoretical work, empirical analysis, and case studies all involving the lived experience of ‘doing’ bioethics within – or with a focus on – Asia.
