"The principles of coercion and informed consent are exemples of a set of principles applied by the new field of applied bioethics. These principles sometimes have the force of law, yet some of these were not adopted by any legislature nor promulgated by any regulatory agency. They come from a kind of consensus among people who call themselves bioethicists. Bioethicists have some form of academic training, usually in philosophy. However, the field of applied bioethics has to some extent taken on a life of its own, with its own degree programs, local consultants, and committees. It is this applied field that I am 'against'. It has become a kind of secular priesthood to which governments and other institutions look for guidance, but it lacks the authority that comes from a single, coherent guiding theory in which practitioners are trained" (cfr 1.1. What this book tries to do)
