Bioethics Reenvisioned

“In this valuable and discussion-provoking contribution to the field, Nancy M. P. King, Gail E. Henderson, and Larry R. Churchill explore the need for bioethics to attend to justice-focused considerations and to work across boundaries of institutions, fields, and disciplines. A pleasure to read.”—Lisa S. Parker, University of Pittsburgh

“What does our current moment have to teach us about bioethics? According to King, Henderson, and Churchill: quite a lot. In this timely exploration, they argue that issues like climate change, infectious disease, and rampant injustice necessitate a shift in how we think about ethics. We would be well advised to listen to them.”—Travis N. Rieder, associate research professor at the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics

“Bioethics Reenvisioned: A Path toward Health Justice is a slender volume that packs a big punch. The book is a clarion call for bioethicists to engage with the explicit goal of achieving social justice and universal access to quality health care in the United States and beyond. Thoughtful, argumentative, and provocative, I fervently hope bioethicists and those outside the bioethics community will take up these timely and important challenges.”—Jim Jones, author of Bad Blood

“The authors' critique of 'lifeboat' ethics, that bioethicists have largely ignored socio-ecological effects on human health, cannot be better timed. The book should be required reading for every HHS employee.”—David Introcaso, producer of the Healthcare Policy Podcast
