Policymakers’ Unmet Desire for Ethicists

Location: Harborside Ballroom (Fourth Floor)

Supported By

This plenary session is generously supported by the Institute for Bioethics and Health Humanities at UTMB.

Much has been written about the role that ethicists should play in the policymaking process. These conversations typically focus on the supply of ethical expertise. In this session, we approach this topic from the demand side and ask: What roles do policymakers want ethicists to have? In what ways do they already fulfill those roles, and to what extent is there an unmet desire for ethicists in the policymaking process? Going forward, how can and should ethicists engage in the policymaking process?
