  Subject: Virtue Ethics, Deontological Ethics, and Biotechnology

  I'm starting work on a paper that will examine a virtue ethics approach to biotechnology patent law. I'm getting reasonably well-versed in virtue ethics from secular and Catholic social theory perspectives, but I'm also trying to dig up evangelical perspectives. It seems there is some tension between deontological and virtue approaches within evangelicalism -- or maybe that's just my misperception based on early stage research. Anyway, I'd be grateful if anyone here is aware of any good sources from an evangelical / protestant perspective. (I'm aware of Hauerwas and the anabaptist tradition).

  Thanks.
