TL;DR: The integration of empirical methods to the standard normative approach to moral reasoning should be reasonably guided by the epistemic demands of claims arising from cross-cultural discourse in bioethics.
Abstract: Rational justification of claims with empirical content calls for empirical and not only normative philosophical investigation Empirical approaches to bioethics are epistemically valuable, ie, such methods may be necessary in providing and verifying basic knowledge about cultural values and norms Our assumptions in moral reasoning can be verified or corrected using these methods Moral arguments can be initiated or adjudicated by data drawn from empirical investigation One may argue that individualistic informed consent, for example, is not compatible with the Asian communitarian orientation But this normative claim uses an empirical assumption that may be contrary to the fact that some Asians do value and argue for informed consent Is it necessary and factual to neatly characterize some cultures as individualistic and some as communitarian? Empirical investigation can provide a reasonable way to inform such generalizations In a multi-cultural context, such as in the Philippines, there is a need to investigate the nature of the local ethos before making any appeal to authenticity Otherwise we may succumb to the same ethical imperialism we are trying hard to resist Normative claims that involve empirical premises cannot be reasonable verified or evaluated without utilizing empirical methods along with philosophical reflection The integration of empirical methods to the standard normative approach to moral reasoning should be reasonably guided by the epistemic demands of claims arising from cross-cultural discourse in bioethics
