Oral History of Ruth R. Faden
No full textThis interview with Ruth R. Faden, PhD, MPH, was conducted by Suzanne Snider on December 12 and December 13, 2022 in Washington, DC as part of Moral Histories: Voices and Stories from the Founding Figures of Bioethics, an oral history project of the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics. Prof. Faden is the Philip Franklin Wagley Professor of Biomedical Ethics at Johns Hopkins University and was the founder of the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics, serving as its director from 1995 until 2016. Prof. Faden’s areas of expertise include ethics and public health, social justice, reproductive rights, women’s health, the rights of pregnant people, and informed consent.On Day 1, Prof. Faden recounts growing up in an insular Jewish community in Northeast Philadelphia and hearing family stories about surviving the Holocaust. Prof. Faden tells the story of her family’s trip to Texas for corrective back surgery and the impact of seeing racial segregation there that she had not seen in Philadelphia. While Prof. Faden describes herself as a poor student in high school, she was the first in her family to graduate from high school (at the age of 16) and to pursue higher education. She describes transferring from Temple University to the University of Pennsylvania to complete her undergraduate education. She outlines her subsequent educational path: earning a master’s degree in the General Studies in Humanities program at the University of Chicago and a Master of Public Health and PhD in attitudes and behavior at the University of California, Berkeley.Prof. Faden describes her consistent engagement with reproductive justice work and volunteering with law firms in the Bay Area around issues of forced sterilization for migrant women. She highlights her drive to understand consent as it relates to the law and to ethics. Prof. Faden speaks to the significance of The Hastings Center and the Kennedy Institute of Ethics. She reflects on her mentors––David Louisell at University of California Berkeley School of Law, Albert Jonsen at the University of California, San Francisco, Jay Katz at Yale Law School––and attributes their generosity to her involvement in the emerging field of bioethics. Prof. Faden describes her first teaching appointment in the School of Hygiene and Public Health (now Bloomberg School of Public Health) at Johns Hopkins and her introduction to André Hellegers at Georgetown University, who ultimately gave her the institutional support to do work on bioethics at Georgetown’s Kennedy Institute of Ethics.On Day 2, Prof. Faden spends significant time describing her work on a book about informed consent with her collaborator and husband, Tom Beauchamp. She argues that rigorous consent practices are not sufficient if they don’t account for structural contexts, sharing as an example the story of Henrietta Lacks, a poor Black woman whose cancerous cervical cells were used in scientific study for years without her or her family’s knowledge. Prof. Faden talks about her work on ethics and social justice within health, co-authoring two books with philosopher-lawyer Madison Powers and her commitment to making the world a little less unjust. Prof. Faden describes her early work related to pregnant women and HIV, exploring questions around policy-making within unjust background conditions.Prof. Faden describes her recruitment to be chair of the White House Advisory
Committee on Human Radiation Experiments (ACHRE) in the Clinton Administration in 1994, noting a profound alignment of her parents’ history as Holocaust survivors and her professional life, as she led an effort to understand the history of radiation experiments performed on humans by the US government during the Cold War, and to make recommendations to ensure that the unethical research uncovered would never happen again. Prof. Faden speaks to the work and successes of ACHRE. After ACHRE, Prof. Faden was invited to found a bioethics program at Johns Hopkins, which ultimately became the Berman Institute of Bioethics. Prof. Faden describes the process of shaping the Institute around her core wishes for the Institute’s success and longevity. She tells the story of Phoebe Berman–a major donor, friend, and the Institute’s namesake–and speaks about other close relationships with board members and trustees.This interview may be of interest to those seeking to learn more about: the field of bioethics and history of bioethics in the US, reproductive rights and gender justice, social justice and health, ethics and public health, informed consent, the Holocaust and experiences of survivors and children of survivors, national commissions and advisory committees, experiences of founding bioethics programs, and the Berman Institute of Bioethics

Oral History of Ruth Macklin
No full textThis interview with Ruth Macklin, PhD, was conducted on June 2 and June 3, 2022 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as part of Moral Histories: Voices and Stories from the Founding Figures of Bioethics, an oral history project of the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics. Prof. Macklin was born in 1938 in Newark, New Jersey. She is Distinguished University Professor Emerita at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and her career in philosophy and bioethics spans the disciplines of research ethics, clinical ethics, reproductive health ethics, global health ethics, and public health ethics.On Day 1, Prof. Macklin discusses her childhood in New Jersey. She describes her upbringing in a home that was atheist but culturally Jewish, in a community which included an underground group of Nazi sympathizers in Irvington, New Jersey in the 1940s. She attributes her love of philosophical argumentation and debate to heated discussions at the dinner table in her family home. Prof. Macklin briefly reflects on the intellectual influence of her maternal grandfather and her parents’ support of her academic exploration. She talks about earning her undergraduate degree in philosophy at Cornell University in the 1950s, where she studied the works/writings of Ludwig Wittgenstein. She discusses the cultural and political transition from the 1950s into the 1960s, during the time she earned her PhD at Case Western Reserve University. As she discusses her experience as the only woman in her graduate program cohort, she narrates her daily life as a parent of two young children while pursuing her PhD. She also mentions writing poetry as a child. Dr. Macklin shares a definition of bioethics, and describes her roles within the field. She then discusses at length her association with Samuel Gorovitz and her gratitude for the breadth of his contributions towards her career development. Prof. Macklin discusses working on her first published book, Moral Problems in Medicine, in the 1970s. She talks about neonatology as an area for many issues in bioethics during this era, including the transition during the late 1970s and early 1980s from a focus on doctor-patient relationship to patient-oriented bioethics. She then describes the function of argumentation and debate in her role as an ethicist, and spends significant time describing the role of emotions from a philosopher’s viewpoint.On Day 2, Prof. Macklin explains her career’s focus, including research ethics, clinical ethics, reproductive health ethics, global health ethics, public health ethics, and in retirement, the Covid-19 pandemic. She describes at length the culture at The Hastings Center during the 1970s. Prof. Macklin discusses her various roles and responsibilities during her tenure at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, including co-teaching seminars, engaging with medical students during clinical rounds, and serving on various committees (she was on the Institutional Review Board and Committee for Scientific Misconduct for her entire tenure at Einstein). She discusses bioethics’ transition from a strictly academic field into a field also of interest in the press/public domain, particularly during the 1970s after the birth of the first baby conceived by in vitro fertilization (IVF). Prof. Macklin also briefly mentions her entry into HIV work while at Einstein.Prof. Macklin discusses her involvement in international work with the World Health Organization and UNAIDS, which included the development of a vibrant social life abroad. She provides examples of tensions arising when the four principles of bioethics are applied in various international (and domestic) settings. She talks about her work and opinions on surrogate parenthood, and her experience with the White House Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments (ACHRE) in 1994-95. Prof. Macklin concludes the interview by predicting (and wishing for) greater attention to justice considerations in future domains of bioethics exploration. She talks about her advocacy for mask mandates during the Covid-19 pandemic, moving to Pittsburgh from New York City, and the pandemic’s positive impact on her closeness to her family.This interview may be of interest to those wishing to learn more about: the field of bioethics; international health, reproductive health, justice in bioethics; philosophy (particularly Wittgenstein) and bioethics; regional histories of bioethics (Northeastern United States), Jewish cultural upbringing in New Jersey in the 1940s; pursuing graduate education as a mother in the 1950s and 1960s; The Hastings Center during the 1970s; and the future of bioethics
