Une approche genrée dans l’analyse bioéthique à l’ère des technosciences biomédicales : quelle pertinence épistémologique ?

This article evaluates the epistemological appropriateness of a gendered approach to bioethics. Drawing on the foundations of the discipline (Potter; Beauchamp & Childress), it examines the contributions and limitations of gendered perspectives (relational autonomy, casuistry) in issues such as assisted reproductive technology, menopause, and intergenerational responsibilities. This text shows that, while these approaches enrich the analysis of concrete situations, they expose decisions to the risk of inconsistency and normative fragmentation. Drawing on Hans Jonas's ethics of responsibility, this article proposes refocusing bioethics on universalizable principles that reaffirm the centrality of the human being, while leaving room for contextual sensitivity when it can be justified and deliberate.
