Abstract

Background: This study examines the views of bioethicists in the US and Canada on incorporating social justice into their work and the field more broadly.

Methods: Through an iterative process with leaders in bioethics, we created a survey and distributed it via bioethics listservs and individual emails.

Results: Ultimately, we received responses from 355 bioethicists in the US and Canada. Respondents showed strong support for integrating social justice concerns, with 80% endorsing its inclusion in bioethics and 75% believing it should be a key aim of bioethics scholarship. However, engagement with specific social justice topics varied, and perceptions about institutional support for doing so were mixed. Early-career bioethicists were more likely to support integrating social justice into bioethics.

Conclusion: Our findings highlight the importance of prioritizing social justice within bioethics and underscore the need for institutional support to advance these efforts.

生命伦理学对社会正义义务的态度调查。

背景：本研究考察了美国和加拿大的生物伦理学家对将社会正义纳入他们的工作和更广泛的领域的看法。方法：通过与生物伦理学领域的领导者反复合作，我们创建了一份调查，并通过生物伦理学列表服务和个人电子邮件进行分发。结果：最终，我们收到了来自美国和加拿大355名生物伦理学家的回复。受访者强烈支持将社会正义问题纳入生物伦理学，80%的人赞同将其纳入生物伦理学，75%的人认为这应该是生物伦理学奖学金的一个关键目标。然而，对具体社会正义主题的参与各不相同，对这样做的机构支持的看法也各不相同。早期职业的生物伦理学家更倾向于支持将社会正义融入生物伦理学。结论：我们的研究结果强调了在生物伦理学中优先考虑社会正义的重要性，并强调了推进这些努力的机构支持的必要性。
