Abstract

This letter is an unpretentious reflection on a decade of research in applied ethics and bioethics. Drawing on the experiential knowledge of the author, who has a background in occupational therapy and philosophy, this letter presents some of what has been learned over the years, which may help the current and future generation of bioethicists to navigate between theory and practice, and in so doing, value those confronted with ethical issues, demonstrate epistemic humility, while mobilizing ideas and theories capable of shedding light on the ethical dimensions of various experiences and practices.
