Experimental philosophical bioethics: position statement accepted for publication

By Brian D. Earp (Yale University)

The dust has settled, receipts have been processed, and the first-ever international workshop on “bioxphi” is finally over. It was an inspiring couple of days, with empirically-minded philosophers and ethicists and normatively-minded doctors and cognitive scientists coming together to share recent work and hammer out a vision for this emerging field of inquiry. After many rounds of edits, with multiple co-authors contributing ideas, making additions, and suggesting changes in a massive Google Doc in the weeks following the workshop, I am happy to report that our joint position statement on experimental philosophical bioethics is now in press at AJOB: Empirical Bioethics. The author information and a link to the pre-print are below:
