Ethics in the Health Sciences

We have a long-term and broad impact in exploring ethical issues in science, healthcare systems, and clinical care. From teaching in the health sciences to scholarship and research in clinical ethics, public health ethics, health policy and neuroethics, Bioethics and the Health Sciences is a key commitment of the Center. Our scholars serve on national working groups and grants—for example, participating in discussions about ethical practice related to COVID-19, addressing ethical issues for NASA, and serving on national and state boards. They have written ethical guidelines with the CDC, worked with legislators in revising Georgia’s advance directive law, and more.
