The accelerated development and application of new biotechnologies confront us with new life situations and moral dilemmas, for the solution of which we often lack adequate interpretational models. In many cases, the principles of traditional normative ethics are insufficient to address new, emerging problems, which prompts the exploration of other suitable methodological approaches. The authors of this book focus on exploring the relationships between literature and bioethics and reveal their extraordinary potential to foster critical thinking, moral action, and the formation of visions for the development of society. They not only examine how literature reflects and addresses bioethical dilemmas, but also analyze how the literary treatment of these dilemmas and the anticipation of their possible solutions can help shape, refine, and deepen the bioethical discourse. The individual studies in this volume confirm that the development of narrative skills is becoming an important part of a broader bioethical reflection which can strengthen the moral competencies needed to solve complex moral issues.
