An added comment to those made yesterday: Why are the norms limited "to decisions or practices made or carried out in the application of medicine, life and social sciences to individuals, families, groups and communities"?
Why not include the physical sciences and engineering? The development of nanotechnology suggests significant potential risks to human health may occur; why should the chemists, physicists, and metalurgists involved be involved in the consideration of bioethics?
Engineering includes many fields that would benefit from norms on bioethics, including human factors engineering.
