Why do we need the Womens Bioethics Project?
Womens voices, perspectives, and experiences are not adequately represented in the current bioethical debates, public policy decisions, or in academic research. The majority of those leading the public debate are men. Women can neither rely on nor expect men to represent the entire range of human experience and perspective. Although several other womens policy institutes exist, none is dedicated to bioethics. In the absence of rigorous, accessible, and thorough scholarship focused through the lens of womens experience, women risk not being heard on complex bioethical issues. The Womens Bioethics Project was created to fill that gap.
