Abstract

This paper argues that as we move to redefine global bioethics, there is a need to be attentive to the ethical issues associated with the environmental sustainability of data and digital infrastructures in global health systems. We show that these infrastructures have thus far featured little in environmental impact discussions in the context of health, and we use a case study approach of biobanking to illustrate this. We argue that this missing discussion is problematic because biobanks have environmental impacts associated with data and digital infrastructures. We consider several ethical questions to consider these impacts: what ethical work does the concept of environmental sustainability add to the debate; how should this concept be prioritised in decision-making; and who should be responsible for doing so? We call on global bioethics to play a role in advancing this dialogue and addressing these questions.

可持续生物银行:绿色全球生物伦理的案例研究
摘要本文认为,在我们重新定义全球生物伦理的过程中,有必要关注与全球卫生系统中数据和数字基础设施的环境可持续性相关的伦理问题。我们表明,到目前为止,这些基础设施在健康背景下的环境影响讨论中几乎没有出现,我们使用生物库的案例研究方法来说明这一点。我们认为,这种缺失的讨论是有问题的,因为生物库对环境的影响与数据和数字基础设施有关。我们考虑了几个伦理问题来考虑这些影响:环境可持续性的概念在辩论中增加了什么伦理工作;如何在决策中优先考虑这一概念;谁应该对此负责?我们呼吁全球生物伦理学在推动对话和解决这些问题方面发挥作用。
