 Insofar as two central tasks of bioethics are to pass judgments on actions, policies, and character, and to morally justify actions, decisions, and policies (or to show that justification is not possible), it is not clear how narrative ethics can satisfy the aims of bioethics, or so the concern goes. What is the relationship between narrative and moral justification? What is the connection between telling a story, say, and the moral decency of a particular action, policy, or character?
