Thesis (Ph.D.)--Princeton University, 1998.
At the beginning of this century Max Weber concluded that institutions in Western societies were being transformed from substantively rational to formally rational. Many scholars following Weber have expanded his insights into other spheres, with some noting that even our collective values were becoming subject to formal rationality. How this process actually occurs has remained unexamined. In this dissertation I examine the transformation from 1959-1995 in the form of rationality employed in the ethical debate about whether or not we should engage in the practice of human genetic engineering.

At the beginning of this century Max Weber concluded that institutions in Western societies were being transformed from substantively rational to formally rational. Many scholars following Weber have expanded his insights into other spheres, with some noting that even our collective values were becoming subject to formal rationality. How this process actually occurs has remained unexamined. In this dissertation I examine the transformation from 1959-1995 in the form of rationality employed in the ethical debate about whether or not we should engage in the practice of human genetic engineering.

I do not explain this change as the result of large abstract processes but rather as the result of professional competition between particular scientists, physicians, theologians, philosophers and persons in the emerging profession of bioethics for jurisdiction over the work of promulgating the ethics of human genetic engineering. These professions are embedded in a system that structures the opportunities and constraints facing these professions.

Through the quantitative analysis of citations and keywords from one sample of texts, qualitative analysis of another sample of texts, and a case study of the creation of an ethical text by The President's Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine and Biomedical and Behavioral Research, I conclude that the terms of the debate about human genetic engineering has indeed changed from substantively rational to formally rational. The debate was rationalized as the bioethicists succeeded in obtaining resources from the state to use in the reproduction of their formally rational ethical system. Moreover, through a jurisdictional alliance between scientists and bioethicists, the interests of the scientific profession have been forwarded in the debate. In addition to providing insight about this transformation in the form of rationality, this dissertation also provides insight into the evolution of the profession now called "bioethics," as well as the evolution of "bioethical" debates more generally.
