	Feminist Bioethics (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		The bioethics movement was triggered by protest against such gross abuses of medical authority as the Nazi doctors' experiments on unconsenting concentration camp inmates and the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, a forty year “experiment” on poor fl men who were misled into believing they were receiving therapy.
		Though feminists working in bioethics speak in many different voices, they share significant commonalities, both in their criticisms of dominant structures and in their efforts to build a more adequate framework that is responsive to the disparate situation of women and other groups whose health needs are under-represented.
		Bioethics conferences in a number of countries began to schedule sessions that explicitly addressed feminist bioethics and more feminists were being included in the general program.

	Bioethics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bioethics involves many public policy questions that are sometimes politicized and used to mobilize political constituencies, hence the emergence of biopolitics and its techno-progressive/bioconservative branches.
		Bioethics is among the fastest growing academic areas of inquiry, and within its thirty year history as an institutionalized group of scholars meeting regularly to discuss bioethics issues, more than one dozen English language journals have emerged.
		The development of bioethics as a concerted area of institutionalized inquiry was greatly aided in 1989 by major dedication of funds by the U.S. Human Genome Project, today known as the NHGRI, referred to by Arthur Caplan as the "full employment act" for bioethicists.
