In this paper the author has attempted to open a window on an African approach to bioethics – that of the Nso’ of the Bamenda Highlands of Kamerun. He argues that the approach, which he describes as Nso’ “eco-bio-communitarianism,” clearly indicates a viable alternative worldview within which some of the bioethical perplexities & controversies of today might be more satisfactorily resolved than within a Western framework. He has further attempted to show, by way of example, how, within such a world view, abortion & suicide, for instance would be disapproved of while euthanasia, in its etymological purity, is approved of.
