Impact Ethics is about using the tools of innovative, responsible, and accountable bioethics to improve health research, policy, and delivery.

Impact Ethics aims to make science subservient to the common good while promoting the responsible and effective development of technologies aimed at improving health and well-being.

Impact Ethics seeks to make institutions more responsive, accountable, and just by advocating for public accountability of public officials and institutions.

Impact Ethics is self-conscious in that it also critiques professional bioethics. Our research challenges ethicists to re-examine their values and bias and to be transparent about goals, priorities, and conflicts of interest.
