No one disputes that music is powerful and can elicit strong emotions. Can this power be harnessed in research to draw bioethics closer to the human beings who are experiencing the disease states and other life challenges that we seek to understand, and for whom we desire to promote flourishing and beneficence?
Here’s a great piece from David Nantais in the Hastings Center Bioethics Forum. I love how David goes beyond the concert-going experience to explore how music can help bioethicists “promote flourishing and beneficence.”
