Promoting a Global Appreciation of Asian Narriatives

Abstract

"In this issue, we take advantage of the opportunity provided by the materials in the Case Corner to reiterate the Asian Bioethics Review’s objective of promoting a global appreciation of Asian narratives. The case study that is the subject of commentaries arose in the context of Singapore but it could very well have arisen somewhere in the West (or anywhere else) and still have been addressed in roughly the same way using the same commentaries. The narrative illustrates the diversity of perspectives from which healthcare processes or events could be viewed, analysed and understood. It also shows the global richness of bioethical discourse to which the ABR has striven to contribute"
