Some principal polarizations characterize the bioethical debate, but moral positions are highly diverse and composite, and it is impossible to reduce them to some extremes. Avoiding a polarized approach requires considering the different moral, political, and cultural views and interpretations—which can be religious and spiritual as well—that people and societies have in regard to the principal phenomena of life: health and wellbeing, disease, illness and death, medicine, healing, and care. These interpretations are personal and communitarian, and they are often embedded in particular contexts and cultures: considering them can provide an opportunity to recognize the importance of moral positions and moral perspectives on these issues, and it may make it possible to create space for an attitude of respect in the (bio-)ethical debate.
