I started Bioethics Club in 2016 at the high school where I teach as a way of introducing high school students to the important interdisciplinary field of bioethics. Often, the students who might get the most from exploring bioethics have busy schedules already, so this project is modelled as a weekly school club rather than a course. On this site, I’ve shared the resources I’ve found most useful in starting and running the club. Thanks to the Harvard Center for Bioethics who supported me in developing this concept during my fellowship at Harvard Medical School. The best way of growing this resource is by developing a network of teachers who can support one another and exchange ideas, experiences, and encouragement, so if you think your students may enjoy Bioethics Club, welcome to the team! Please let me know if you have any questions or feedback on anything about Bioethics Club, and I hope you enjoy the site!
