AB - This study examines the discourses of public bioethics generated by three U.S. governmental bioethics
commissions associated with human embryo and stem cell research. First, this study analyzes the
relationship between science and moral governance by comparing a technocratic approach and a pluralist
approach to the moral status of an embryo. Second, this study explores the additional style of moral
governance by analyzing four types of social justice ― procedural justice, distributive justice, recognition
justice, and productive justice ― related to the impacts and processes of human embryo and stem cell
research. The results of this study are as follows: 1) the moral decision-making of the Human Embryo
Research Panel was built on the technocratic approach, while the National Bioethics Advisory Commission
made use of the pluralist approach. In spite of depending on the technocratic approach, the President's
Council on Bioethics employed a post-modern style of moral governance by rejecting an artificial consensus
among a diversity of positions on the moral status of an embryo. 2) all of the three commissions took
procedural justice into account, but the Human Embryo Research Panel failed to deal with distributive
justice issue. The National Bioethics Advisory Commission indicated the importance of distributive justice,
while the President's Council on Bioethics was more vocal on the discussion of productive justice. None of
the three commissions touched on recognition justice issue.
