Violation of Bioethics in Ann Patchett’s A State of Wonder 1Assist. Instr. Anood Kareem Jassim

Abstract

Bioethics form a basic part of medical research and experiments. This field has been solidly established in modern and postmodern eras in order to avoid the past transgressions that were done against participants in medical field. This paper aims to discuss the intersection of bioethics and racism in Ann Patchett’s A State of Wonder. This novel presents the journey of American doctors who venture into Amazon forests in order to research the fertility qualities of native people there.
