Abstract
This chapter about bioethics in Denmark focuses on specific Danish characteristics. These are the early start of a bioethics debate, legislation and bioethics councils; the independence of the councils and the parliamentarians voting on ethical issues; the introduction and extraordinary importance of laymen as a part of the bioethical debate and decisions; and the strong focus on debate and educational tools.
