The paper takes into account the ethical problems stemming from the life sciences, and provides a characterisation of the policies run to cope with growing moral disagreement about scientific research. It shows what models of scientific governance have been established and how those models incorporate different views about the ideal relationship between the scientific community, bioethicists and public decision makers. Finally, it analyses the theoretical foundations of those models.
