L’utilité de ce genre d’institutions est incontestable. Car le monde moderne est sans cesse confronté à des innovations, médicales ou autres, qui s’appliquent à l’homme ou à son environnement proche. Ce lieu est donc nécessaire pour préparer la matière intellectuelle qui sera ensuite transférée aux citoyens afin que ceux- ci puissent se prononcer quant à la légitimité de ces innovations.

Bioéthique, éthique

I'm an an Associate Professor at the University of Minnesota's Center for Bioethics and School of Public Health. My current research examines ethical, social, and policy issues related to medical travel and the emergence of a global marketplace in health services. In addition, I study ethical and legal issues connected to the global proliferation of clinics marketing unlicensed and unproven stem cell interventions. My research draws upon methods and theories from bioethics and social studies of medicine. Academic Appointments Before arriving at the University of Minnesota I was an Associate Professor, William Dawson Scholar, and Graduate Program Director in the Biomedical Ethics Unit at McGill University. From 1998-2000 I worked as an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto Joint Centre for Bioethics and clinical ethicist at Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. I spent 1996-1997 as Research Associate at The Hastings Center. I received my PhD from the University of Southern California's School of Religion and Social Ethics. Visiting Fellowships I've held visiting fellowships at Radboud University Nijmegen, the Comparative Program on Health and Society at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs, the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and the University of Texas' Institute for the Medical Humanities. Publications With my co-editors Jill Hodges and Ann Marie Kimball, I recently published Risks and Challenges in Medical Tourism: Understanding the Global Market for Health Services (Praeger, 2012). With Raymond De Vries, Kristina Orfali, and Charles Bosk, I edited The View from Here: Bioethics and the Social Sciences (Wiley-Blackwell, 2007). My articles have appeared in such publications as BioSocieties, British Medical Journal, Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics, Globalization and Health, Journal of Medicine and Philosophy, Science, and Sociology of Health & Illness.
