Emerging in the 1970s, the field responded to rapid advancements in biomedical technology and the glaring injustices in clinical care and research. Since then, bioethics has primarily focused on respecting autonomy, promoting beneficence, and avoiding harm, often applying these principles within the confines of medical institutions. However, it is high time for bioethics to expand its horizons and address the pressing issues of health disparities and structural injustice exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the impacts of climate change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book makes a compelling case for why and how bioethics must embrace a broader and more meaningful view of justice. By incorporating the tools and insights of social sciences, epidemiology, and public health, bioethics can gain a deeper understanding of the social determinants that shape health outcomes and the ethical implications of global warming.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors to this book, including Nancy M. P. King, Gail E. Henderson, and Larry R. Churchill, argue for a more social understanding and application of justice. They advocate for a humility in assessing expertise in bioethics consulting, a broader and more relevant research agenda, and a greater appreciation of the profound health implications of climate change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn conclusion, bioethics must evolve to address the complex challenges of our time. By embracing a broader and more meaningful view of justice, incorporating the insights of social sciences, epidemiology, and public health, and fostering a deeper humility in assessing expertise, bioethics can contribute to a more equitable and just society. The time for action is now, as the health and well-being of individuals and communities are at stake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781469671581\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nancy M.
