The writer uses the terms bioethics and ethics as follows. Bioethics includesethical/moral attitudes that arise among diverse biological forms, including, of course, those involving man. For example, an anthropologist might discuss a moral issue when speculating on social structure involving another hominid besides Homo sapiens such as Homo neanderthalensis or habilis or some prior non-Homo species. Therefore, bioethics is the more general set that includes the set termed classical human ethics.
