This article clarifies the context and meaning of the two concepts of bioethics developed more than forty years apart by the Protestant minister Fritz Jahr (1895-1953) and the oncologist Van Rensselaer Potter (1911-2001). Clarifying the ideas of these thinkers enables us to reflect on the relationship between ecological and biomedical ethics by insisting on the conditions of openness and receptivity of the moral subject, and on the need for an anthropology that establishes a coherent link between two ethics which are too often separated.
