Welcome
 Yale’s Interdisciplinary Bioethics Center focuses its attention on bios or life, and the way we have helped, broken and abused it. Our primary focus has been, and will continue to be, biomedical ethics, but we are increasingly putting time and resources into issues related to ecology, environmental ethics, and care for nonhuman animals. Some current projects relate to research and treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and problems faced by IRBs and the whole IRB system. We have strong interests in questions of health policy, cost containment and justice. We are dedicated to the teaching of ethics and mean to support and improve it in any way possible. Our main sources of support are the Office of the Yale Provost, the Institute for Social and Policy Studies, and The Patrick and Catherine Weldon Donaghue Medical Research Foundation.
