bioethicists
Healthcare ethics experts
Bioethicists are scholars who study ethical questions arising from biology, medicine, and biotechnology.
They work at the intersection of philosophy, law, and science, addressing issues like genetic engineering, end-of-life care, organ transplantation, and human experimentation.
Bioethicists advise hospitals, governments, and research institutions: The hospital's bioethicist helped the family understand their options.
