“We may be the only specialty that continues to do major abdominal surgery without a shred of evidence of benefit,” said Dr. Steven L. Clark, an obstetrician at Baylor College of Medicine in Texas who has extensively studied electronic monitoring. “We just plow blithely on.” #Bioethics #PHEthics

"The absence of any sustained attention to research scandals has left a gaping hole at the center of bioethics scholarship and teaching." Indeed - same situation in France. Hoping to publish soon an history piece on some unethical experiments done in 1960s in Paris

Thanks to @carlelliott.bsky.social for publishing this important piece about how research scandals occupy too little of the bioethics literature -- and for his extensive discussion of exploitation of disabled people in the Willowbrook hepatitis experiments.

What Research Scandals? Welcome to the Bioethics Memory Hole : The Hastings Center for Bioethics
It is striking how many notorious cases of abuses of human research subjects go almost entirely unmentioned in the bioethics literature.

I used to work on this subject a bit; I have worked on the history of medical imaging, which also has high rates of overutilization. The same result for this other screening protocol fascinates me, and in general #ScreeningEthics merits MUCH more attention in #Bioethics than it often gets.

An inspiring time in London at a @wellcometrust.bsky.social workshop on the ethics of predictive modelling for health. Grateful for rich discussions (esp. in mental health), insights from Drs. Ruth Faden & Erica Thompson + others. Glad I got to draw upon @mdmccradden.bsky.social's work!

It's interesting that as a philosopher of bioethics Singer is completely disinterested in the psychological effect of segregation & exclusion on trans women. It illustrates a problem that does exist in philosophy as in the rest of society - viewing us as an 'issue', not equal human beings.
