- Abstract
The article gives an overview of the pros and cons for bioethicists when they accept consulting opportunities and research funding from pharmaceutical and biotech corporations. In an era when competition for government funding of academic research is growing increasingly intense, corporate funding provides a resource for building bioethics programs and educational initiatives. The author says that bioethicists and bioethics centers need corporate funding to survive. However, close ties between bioethicists and industry have several deeply problematic consequences, he argues.
