Abstract

This chapter articulates upon an appropriate rubric towards practice frameworks in regards to Africa. It calls for the careful adoption and adaptation of Euro-American bioethics principles and indigenizing them into the African context via the matrix of Africology (Afrocentrism). Efforts on the specifics of refocusing attention on core bioethics principles and values are a welcome development that would help reflect the local color in various cultures, bolstering the push to come up with an appropriate blueprint for bioethics practice that recognizes the multiplicity of cultures worldwide.
