In Search of Authentic Public Engagement
Hastings Center research scholar Karen Maschke questioned recent calls in the ethics world for public engagement, enhanced governance, and greater transparency regarding technological innovation. “Making the calls is easy,” Maschke said, but taking action means disrupting existing centers of power, and requires hearing a multitude of challenges to the underpinnings of innovation. She spoke at a panel entitled “50 Years of Bioethics – Reflections from The Hastings Center” at the annual Prim*r conference in Boston this week. Primr is a professional organization focused on research ethics.Hastings Center News
