Abstract

Focusing on lay moralities is normatively justified by embedding bioethics in a political-philosophical framework of participation and deliberation. A major methodological and meta-ethical challenge remains regarding how empirical research can systematically inform normative bioethics. The concepts of being affected, responsibility and risk, are introduced as distinct analytical tools for an in-depth analysis of lay moralities. Both provide conceptual and discursive junctions also leading to expert discourses.
