Dr. Moreno will be talking about the book he recently co-authored with University of Pennsylvania President Amy Gutmann, Everyone Wants to Go to Heaven but Nobody Wants to Die: Bioethics and the Transformation of Health Care in America, a critically acclaimed survey of the history of bioethics in America and how the field has influenced policy and politicization of health care in this nation over the past half-Century. Drs. Gutmann and Moreno both have played significant roles in US health care and the development of bioethical thought and practice, through their extensive and influential writing, and through service on President Barack Obama’s Bioethics Commission. Their new work is an accessible and lucid account of how philosophy has influenced the culture of medical practice, the status of physicians, and the way health care decisions are made by patients and practitioners.

What does that mean and how would we know? It turns out that evaluating IRB quality and effectiveness beyond superficial measurements related to compliance and efficiency is remarkably challenging. Nonetheless, it is essential to determining whether the system’s overall benefits outweigh its burdens, as well as what adjustments might be in order. In this lecture, Holly Fernandez Lynch will describe the problem and introduce several novel approaches currently being pursued by the Consortium to Advance Effective Research Ethics Oversight (AEREO).
