Long Citation
Françoise Baylis is a philosopher whose innovative work in bioethics has stretched the very boundaries of the field. Her extensive publication record spans many topics, including research involving children, the role of bioethics consultants, women's health, human embryo research, and novel genetic technologies. At the center of her research lie questions of justice, especially intergenerational justice as it applies to our responsibility to future generations when we undertake research programs that may alter the nature of humans. Her work challenges readers to think broadly and deeply about the direction of health research and technology.
