Abstract

The article discusses the possible use of strong objectivity and feminist standpoint theory to acknowledge personal roles within power structures in bioethics that add to oppression. It states that strong objectivity's involvement with wider values and interests at play in extracting knowledge can allow insider/outsider viewpoints in bioethics. Also noted is such a change's help in preventing one from displacing blame and responsibility.
