The article highlights a discrepancy between the views of bioethicists and the public on ethical issues. It argues that this disconnect is due to the lack of diversity within the bioethics community and its growing distance from everyday life. The article suggests that to address this issue, bioethicists should engage in more open dialogue with the public and collaborate with clinicians, patients, and citizens in their research. This approach, known as “living ethics,” emphasizes the importance of integrating lived experiences into ethical understanding and problem-solving.
