bodies in the U.S. and then by national science agencies in other countries. A large part of the intellectual effort in this field has been devoted to identifying, highlighting, and analyzing critical issues in genomic research as it moves through the translational process. Given the prominence of these issues in today’s debates over the state of research ethics overall, these studies are well positioned to contribute important data, contextual considerations, and policy arguments to the wider research ethics community’s deliberations, and ultimately to develop a research ethics that can help guide biomedicine’s future.
