“…He used the term in a broad sense to refer to a new discipline that combines "biological knowledge and human values" (Potter 1970, p. 127). Still in the 1970s, André Hellegers (Reich 1999) and Sargent Shriver (Engelhardt 2012) restricted the meaning of the term to the study of moral questions posed by biological knowledge and its application to medicine. Lecaldano (2002) suggests that bioethics can now be understood broadly as a critical field of inquiry that studies ethical dilemmas concerning life (in the human, animal, and environmental sense).…”

“…In 1999, Philosopher William Thomas Reich characterized Andre Helleger, the founder and first director of the Kennedy Institute of Ethics at Georgetown University, as “committed to and [having] worked toward bioethics as a self-consciously interdisciplinary field in which the contributing disciplines adapt to each other-rather than sustain themselves as autonomous disciplines-to create a dynamic and complex, clinical, and social activity.” 35[p.25] But this wider view was not well received. 36 Nonetheless, in 1971 some physicians, philosophers, and theologians at Georgetown University came up with the term, biomedical ethics .…”

The Tuskegee University National Center for Bioethics in Research and Health Care was established in 1999 in partial response to the Presidential Apology for the United States Public Health Service's Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male conducted in Macon County, Alabama, from 1932 to 1972. The Center's mission of promoting equity and justice in health and health care for African Americans and other underserved populations employs an integrative bioethics approach informed by moral vision. Etymological and historical analyses are used to delineate the meaning and evolution of bioethics and to provide a basis for Tuskegee's integrative bioethics niche. Unlike mainstream bioethics, integrative bioethics practice is holistic in orientation, and more robust for understanding the epistemic realities of minority life, health disparities, and population health. The conclusion is that integrative bioethics is relevant to the survival of all people, not just a privileged few; it could be the new ethics for the public's health.

“…Fertility control was the major issue that spawned bioethics… The theologians, who were the first ethicists working in bioethics, cut their teeth on contraception/sterilization and abortion debates; and in a very real sense, much of the great energy that was turned toward bioethics around 1970/71 was energy that was diverted from the then‐increasingly futile church debates on fertility control [8].…”

Individuals' reproductive choices are private matters, but sexual conduct and pregnancy impose significant public health burdens. Ethical principles of public health are distinguishable from principles applied in modern bioethics. Bioethical principles have been developed at the clinical or microethical level, affecting relations among individuals, whereas pubic health ethics applies at the population-based or macroethical level. Resolution of issues, for instance of consent to healthcare interventions and preservation of privacy, is different in public health practice from in clinical medicine. Public health aspects of human reproduction concern reduction of maternal mortality and morbidity, particularly in resource-poor countries, and the contribution to high rates of each of unsafe abortion, most prevalent where abortion laws are restrictive. Further aspects of public health ethics concern limited access to contraceptive services, the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV, causes of infertility, especially due to STIs, and responses to each of these concerns.
