What if saying sorry isn’t enough? This episode urges us to think more deeply about wrongdoing, silence, complicity and solidarity in bioethics. Vanessa and Jantina reflect on the power—and limits—of an apology, including Vanessa’s experience of chairing the Committee that secured redressal from the White House for Public Health Department's infamous study on Syphilis at Tuskegee.

Vanessa Northington Gamble is a University Professor of Medical Humanities at the George Washington University, USA. She is the first woman and first African American to hold this prestigious, endowed faculty position.

Jantina de Vries is a Professor of Medicine at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, where she also founded the Ethics Lab to centre Africa as the context and driver of bioethics in scholarship.
