Ethics of Responsibility in a Multicultural Context

Can an ethics of responsibility offer a sound model for bioethics within the current multicultural context? In order to answer this question, the following article starts from the analysis of a series of practical cases taken from clinical experience. In these cases, the multicultural challenge is presented in different forms which therefore require differentiated approaches and answers. Only after having presented such case histories the article proposes a theoretical model based on the idea of a double-faced concept of responsibility, trying to understand how much it can deal with multicultural challenges.
