Cette revue a pour objectif de comparer les approches de l'éthique médicale et de la bioéthique sous deux formes, anglo-saxonne (Ethics, Medicine and Public Health) et francophone (Ethique, Médecine et Politiques Publiques). Ainsi, dans leurs langues maternelles respectives, les auteurs présenteront des recherches sur la légitimité des pratiques et l'appréciation des conséquences des actes autant vis-à-vis des patients que vis-à-vis de la société en terme de débats démocratiques sur les limites acceptables par la collectivité.
