Listen to a Podcast About Bioethics

Navigate the moral dilemmas at the intersection of biology and medicine — gene editing, organ transplants, end-of-life care, clinical trial ethics, and the frameworks guiding life-and-death decisions.

The Tuskegee syphilis study (1932-1972), in which the U.S. Public Health Service deliberately withheld treatment from 399 Black men with syphilis to observe the disease's progression, led directly to the establishment of modern informed consent requirements and institutional review boards. Chinese scientist He Jiankui shocked the world in November 2018 by announcing the birth of twin girls whose embryos he had edited using CRISPR to be resistant to HIV, violating international ethical norms and resulting in a three-year prison sentence. The Belmont Report, published in 1979, established three core principles — respect for persons, beneficence, and justice — that govern all human subjects research in the United States and have influenced bioethics frameworks globally.
