Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is: How Bioethics Can Learn from Organized Medicine
This editorial appears in the Jan 2022 issue of the American Journal of Bioethics.
Elizabeth P. Clayborne and Marcella Nunez-Smith
As physicians, the supreme importance of health and its integral role in any individual’s pursuit of life, liberty and happiness is exhibited on a daily basis. It is abundantly clear that without health one cannot focus on any other facet of life and therefore health serves as the foundation on which wellness is grounded. It has also become clear that social determinants of health have a significant influence on health status and remain paradoxically the most ma...

The Need for “Big Bioethics” Research
This editorial appears in the Jan 2022 issue of the American Journal of Bioethics.
Joel E. Pacyna and Richard R. Sharp
Empirical bioethics research has become an established field of study, with its own unique goals, vocabulary, and methods (Camporesi and Cavaliere 2021; Lee and McCarty 2016; Sugarman 2010), and with many universities and academic health centers hosting bioethics programs that support a variety of educational and translational research activities. Appropriately, the success of these programs has prompted closer scrutiny of their impact and relevance to the aims of medicine.…

The Folly of Apolitical Science
By Johnathan Flowers, PhD
A persistent myth in STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Medicine) fields argues that science exists beyond politics and outside culture and society. As a philosopher of science, specifically a Black philosopher of science with a disability, I challenge students – many of whom are future scientists – to reconsider this glamorized view. Students often react violently: “How can science be political?” they demand. “What do you mean that science is racist?” they clamor. Their development in a culture that presents science, or scientific fact, as unfettered by culture is partially to blame.…

Where is Dentistry in Health Humanities?
by Deborah Franklin, DDS, MA, LPC and Nathan Carlin, PhD
What is health humanities? Why is it important? How is it different from medical humanities? And where does dentistry fit in health humanities? In this blog post, we will attempt to offer brief answers to these questions.
The term “health humanities” is usually meant to be an alternative to “medical humanities.” Health humanities is intended to be inclusive of all health professions (nursing, dentistry, public health, etc.), and it relativizes the importance of medicine such that medicine is not dominant.…

The #MedTwitter War: How a Tweet About Advocacy Pitted One Specialty Against Another
by Erin King-Mullins, MD, FACS, FASCRS
I decided to tweet about my daughter’s trip to the ER to highlight disparities in access to certain treatments and the importance of patient/parent advocacy. The response was quite unexpected and turned into an all-out #MedTwitter war!
Recently my one-and-a-half-year-old daughter fell at school, hitting her head. I got a call that she was injured and she should be taken to the ER. My fortunate circumstances include the childcare center being on the hospital’s campus, a children’s hospital is located just a couple blocks away, and my training as a colorectal surgeon.…

In Memoriam: Kenneth Kipnis, PhD
Haavi Morreim, JD, PhD
My remembrance of Ken begins by borrowing from his obituary (https://www.mykeeper.com/profile/KennethKipnis/):
Kenneth Kipnis, philosopher, medical ethicist, and Professor Emeritus at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, died peacefully on August 26th, 2021, in Portland, Oregon. …
Ken forged his career as a self-described “field ethicist” in the Socratic tradition. Working with professionals across a wide variety of disciplines — especially medicine, law, and public health — he sought to apply philosophical principles to complex moral dilemmas.…

Standard Racism: Trying to Use “Crisis Standards of Care” in the COVID-19 Pandemic
By George J. Annas and Sondra S. Crosby
This editorial can be found in the latest issue of American Journal of Bioethics.
Lowering the standard of care in a pandemic is a recipe for inferior care and discrimination. Wealthy white patients will continue to get “standard of care” medicine, while the poor and racial minorities (especially black and brown people) will get what is openly described as substandard care rationalized by the assertion that substandard care is all that we can deliver to them in a crisis.…
