Résumé
As a field, bioethics has failed to adequately change in a direction that pursues and addresses continually shifting contemporary social problems, in particular, anti-Black racism. In this essay, we draw from interviews with four senior Black scholars-Anita L. Allen, Claretta Y. Dupree, Patricia A. King, and Lawrence J. Prograis, Jr.-to learn from their experiences in this field dominated by White-majority thought and to consider thematically how best to recalibrate bioethics to imagine a braver, broader, and better bioethics, one that centers social justice and is equipped to work against anti-Black racism.
