[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting|You can help!]] '''Van Rensselaer Potter II''' ([[August 27]], [[1911]] – [[September 6]], [[2001]]) was an [[United States|American]] [[biochemist]]. He was Professor of [[Oncology]] at the McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research at the [[University of Wisconsin-Madison]] for more than 50 years. In [[1970]], Dr. Potter created the term [[bioethics]] to describe a new philosophy that sought to integrate biology, ecology, medicine, and human values. Bioethics is often linked to [[environmental ethics]] and stands in sharp contrast to [[biomedical ethics]]. Because of this confusion (and appropriation of the term in medicine), Potter chose to use the term [[Global Bioethics]] in [[1988]]. ==Publications== ===Popular=== * ''Bioethics: bridge to the future'' (Prentice-Hall [[1971]]) * ''Global Bioethics: Building on the Leopold Legacy'' (Michigan State Univ Pr [[1988]]) ISBN 0-87013-264-4 == See also == * [[Aldo Leopold]] ==External links== * In Memoriam: [http://mcardle.oncology.wisc.edu/faculty/bio/potter_v.html McArdle Laboratory] * Obituary: ''[http://cancerres.aacrjournals.org/cgi/content/full/63/7/1724 Cancer Research 63, 1724, April 1, 2003]'' [[Category:1911 births|Potter, Van Rensselaer]] [[Category:2001 deaths|Potter, Van Rensselaer]] [[Category:American biochemists|Potter, Van Rensselaer]] [[Category:American biologists|Potter, Van Rensselaer]] [[es:Van Rensselaer Potter]] {{US-biochemist-stub}}
