Mark G.
Kuczewski, PhD, directs the Neiswanger Institute for Bioethics and Health
Policy and is the current president of the American Society for Bioethics
and Humanities (ASBH). He is the author or editor of three books.
Mark is
philosopher by training who has focused on the relationship between theory
and practice. He is a recognized authority on contemporary Aristotelian
methods of communitarianism and casuistry as outlined and a consistent theme
in his work is the inevitability of a reliance on practical wisdom and
judgment in building consensus on difficult issues. Mark has consistently
brought these methods to bear in case analysis as shown in his ethics
casebook and in outlining the creation of societal consensus in his
testimony before the President’s Council on Bioethics in 2008.
Mark is a dedicated bioethics educator. He is well-known for having created
two of the major online graduate programs in bioethics. But, his writing
has generally focused on medical education and the new professionalism
movement. He has tried to suggest that the language and concepts of
professionalism present an opportunity for re-emphasizing medicine’s social
contract to promote the common good in regard to health and health care.
His current interests include attention to the role of culture and
spirituality in decision making. This has led him to a particular interest
in the bioethical issues related to the current Latino immigration. He has
his first article on this issue forthcoming in Theoretical Medicine and
Bioethics and he is working on a project with the Catholic Health
Association to outline best practices in meeting the moral obligations and
financial challenges posed by treating this underserved population.
