Ethics Gains a Foothold in Science and Public Policy Arenas

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  10 December 2009

Extract

In the last issue of Cambridge Quarterly, I summarized several sessions on bioethics held at conferences sponsored by organizations that are not usually thought of as being in the mainstream of bioethics. In particular, I mentioned the American Public Health Associtation and the American Anthropological Association as examples of organizations with broad interdisciplinary memberships that have developed specialized interests in the relationships between their respective fields (Public health and anthropology) and healthcare ethics. The article pointed out that there are other voices outside the field of bioethics that make valuable contributions to the shape, function, and direction the field takes.
