Bioethics after the COVID-19 pandemic: More research, fewer committees?

Henri-Corto Stoeklé et al. Clin Ethics. 2022 Dec.

Abstract

In the face of the pandemic, bioethics, once again, proved its scientific utility. In France, in particular, the academic approach (= peer-reviewed, scientific publications, etc.) should be given priority over the institutional approach (= public surveys, public meetings, etc.), in hospitals, research institutes, universities, and companies, with the professionalization that this would imply (i.e. bioethicists).

Keywords: Bioethics; COVID-19; France; bioethicist; global bioethics; meta-discipline.
