Inaugural Professorial Lecture - Professor Angela Ballantyne

Inaugural Professorial Lecture "Making things right". What does it mean to make things right? Medicine and science often turn to bioethics for concrete solutions to ethical challenges. But in reality, there is rarely a single, obvious ‘right’ answer. Human systems are inherently messy, and challenged by a legacy of injustice, unequal distributions of power, and declining social trust. This talk will describe the potential for bioethics to help clarify and navigate ethics dilemmas; pragmatically inching us closer to making things – if not right, then at least – better.
