Public Bioethics: Can Ordinary People Navigate Extraordinary Questions?

In an era of declining trust in medicine, science, and healthcare institutions, there is good reason to consider how to foster a more public conversation about the aims, goals, and ethics of medicine. Bioethics is not something that belongs only to academics, physicians, and policymakers but to everyone affected by healthcare decisions-which is to say, everyone. Dr. Stahl explores how public bioethics can help ordinary people navigate extraordinary moral questions by making ethical reflection accessible, inclusive, and grounded in real human lives.
