We present here a new method for bioethics: systemic modelling. In this method, the complex phenomenon being studied (e.g. personalized medicine, genetic testing, gene therapy, genetically modified organisms) is modelled as a whole, to shed light on its organization and functioning, and major (bio)ethical issues and solutions for their resolution are then identified. This systemic modelling method is ideal for use in the identification of solutions, rather than their validation, with other methods then used to test the solutions found. We provide a description and reproducible instructions for the application of systemic modelling in bioethics, together with a brief example of the application of this method to the study of the impact of personalized medicine on French society.

生物伦理学中的系统建模

我们在这里介绍一种新的生物伦理学方法：系统建模。用这种方法，将要研究的复杂现象（例如个性化医学，基因测试，基因治疗，转基因生物）作为一个整体建模，以阐明其组织和功能以及主要的（生物）伦理问题及其解决方案然后确定分辨率。此系统建模方法非常适合用于识别解决方案，而不是用于验证解决方案，然后再使用其他方法来测试找到的解决方案。我们提供了系统建模在生物伦理学中的应用的描述和可复制的说明，并简要介绍了该方法在研究个性化药物对法国社会的影响方面的应用实例。
