Summary:

This publication shows why the field of bioethics must embrace a broader and more meaningful view of justice, principally by incorporating the tools and insights of the social sciences, epidemiology, and public health. The authors make the case for a more social understanding of justice, and a deeper humility in assessing expertise in bioethics consulting.
