Russell, Camisha2022-06-022022-06-022021Camisha Russell (2021): Meeting the Moment: Bioethics in the Time of Black Lives Matter, The American Journal of Bioethics, DOI: 10.1080/15265161.2021.2001093https://hdl.handle.net/1794/2718313 pages.In this article, I begin by describing what I call this Black Lives Matter moment in the US. I then offer three reasons for considering racism as a bioethical issue, the least discussed of which is the way in which racism acts as a barrier to the creation of better healthcare systems. Next, I argue that the concept of race itself constitutes a bioethical issue in a way that is not fully reducible to racism. Finally, I discuss how we, both bioethicists and health care professionals, might meet this moment by identifying individual points of responsibility (beyond liability) for structural injustice.enCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USraceculture/ethnicitypublic healthhealth care deliveryArticle
