 I argue that the covert administration of a compulsory moral bioenhancement program better conforms to public health ethics than does an overt compulsory program. In particular, a covert compulsory program promotes values such as liberty, utility, equality, and autonomy better than an overt program does. Thus, a covert compulsory moral bioenhancement program is morally preferable to an overt moral bioenhancement program.((https://web.archive.org/web/20210111074543/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30157295/))  I argue that the covert administration of a compulsory moral bioenhancement program better conforms to public health ethics than does an overt compulsory program.

 +The Virtuous Investigator: The Way Forward
 +
 +The virtuous investigator who is motivated to take ethical responsibilities seriously is an essential safeguard for the protection of human research participants and an important complement to the system of oversight protections. However, since the current human subjects protection system does not promote virtue or ethical resourcefulness by investigators, attention to enhancing a culture of professional responsibility might serve to forge a synergy between the protections afforded by the current oversight system and those provided by the virtuous investigator. 
 +
 +Unfortunately, the current human subjects protections system has had the ironic effect of diminishing explicit reliance on the virtuous investigator and in some cases alienating investigators. Strategies that synergize the regulatory protections with a more rigorous culture of responsibility among investigators could help restore a healthier balance.((https://web.archive.org/web/20180603122920/https://muse.jhu.edu/article/627988))

 Bioethics is a wonderful complement to science because all scientific endeavors have interesting bioethical issues. You have to understand the science in order to understand the ethical issues, and then you think about them in a constructive and useful way ((https://web.archive.org/web/20210105114231/https://www.fox5vegas.com/coronavirus/q-a-dr-fauci-wife-dr-christine-grady-discuss-covid-19-vaccine-white-house-and/article_0a2a1f00-c77b-11ea-97cd-13eb3aaa7b82.html)) Bioethics is a wonderful complement to science because all scientific endeavors have interesting bioethical issues.

 +==== Mrs Fauci on the Ethics of Encouraging Employees to get Vaccinated ====
 +August 5, 2022 Naked Emperor Substack 
 +
 +Should employers encourage their employees to get the COVID-19 vaccination? Of course not, they pay their employees to do a job, not lecture them on their life choices. However, some people think employers should be encouraging vaccination. If so, is it ethical?
 +
 +To me the answer is no it is not, but a paper from March of this year looked at this issue. Whilst this is four months or so old, it shows the mindset of the authors which I very much doubt has changed. Although the paper is a few months old, we basically had the same information on transmission, infection, hospitalisation and death as we do now.
 +
 +Very often, the first author on a scientific paper makes the most contributions to the research work whilst the last author is the person responsible for the whole project. In this paper, published in the Journal of Public Health Policy, Christine Grady is the last author, meaning she was probably in charge of putting it together.
 +
 +Who is Christine Grady? Christine is a bioethicist who is currently the head of the Department of Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in the US. (the paper is also funded by the Intramural Research Program of the National Human Genome Research Institute). Does she have any conflicts of interest? A quick scan to the bottom of the paper tells us she doesn’t. ((https://nakedemperor.substack.com/p/mrs-fauci-on-the-ethics-of-encouraging))
