Silja Vöneky studies how norms can be established and enforced in a democracy if these norms affect areas which raise ethical and moral questions. She shows the demands made by the constitutional order of the Federal Republic of Germany on the existence of democratic legitimation and explains when and under which certain narrow conditions ethics committees are justified and required.
