Editorial line
BioéthiqueOnline is an open access academic journal published online since 2012. Born from a collaborative endeavour between Bioethics Program and Bioethics Student Association (AÉBiUM) at Université de Montréal, BioéthiqueOnline has a mandate to share and disseminate research from various bioethics-related fields.
Within a context where clinical, public health and technologies ethics, among others, are interacting together, different types of communication are published, such as commentaries, debate pieces, case studies and articles. BioéthiqueOnline addresses issues that would not be published in American and European journals due to their language, forms and jurisdictional situation.
