在美国以非洲裔美国人为主的社区中，种族主义和种族主义引发的暴力问题是复杂的、多因素的、有历史根源的。虽然这些问题在道德上也令人深感不安，但生物伦理学家并没有为解决这些问题做出实质性的贡献。对正义的关注一直是生命伦理学的核心承诺之一。出于这样或那样的原因，生物伦理学家应该为解决这些问题做出贡献。我们将考虑生物伦理学家如何为公共话语、研究、教学、培训、政策制定和学术奖学金提供有意义的贡献，以应对令人担忧的、持续存在的种族主义模式和与之相关的隐性偏见。为了做出任何有益的贡献，生物伦理学家需要做好准备，并期望通过与他人的合作行动发挥重要作用。
The problems of racism and racially motivated violence in predominantly African American communities in the United States are complex, multifactorial, and historically rooted. While these problems are also deeply morally troubling, bioethicists have not contributed substantially to addressing them. Concern for justice has been one of the core commitments of bioethics. For this and other reasons, bioethicists should contribute to addressing these problems. We consider how bioethicists can offer meaningful contributions to the public discourse, research, teaching, training, policy development, and academic scholarship in response to the alarming and persistent patterns of racism and implicit biases associated with it. To make any useful contribution, bioethicists will require preparation and should expect to play a significant role through collaborative action with others.
