Student Perspectives

Students in the Master of Science in Bioethics program are drawn to questions that don’t have easy answers. They come from a wide range of professional and academic backgrounds, but share a commitment to thinking carefully about responsibility, power, and decision-making in medicine, research, and the life sciences. These students are motivated by intellectual curiosity and a concern for how scientific and clinical advances affect patients, communities, and the public. They are willing to sit with uncertainty, examine assumptions, and engage across differences as they grapple with ethical challenges shaped by culture, policy, and social inequality. The perspectives below reflect how students bring their own experiences into conversation with bioethics scholarship.
