'''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]].
