Bioethics
*Note: These databases are not through EWU. Take the journal titles from the citations you find and do a journal title search in the EWU Catalog (more links are to the left) to see if we own them.
- EthxWebThis database contains journal articles, book chapters, bills, laws, court decisions, reports, books, audiovisuals, and news articles relating to bioethics and professional ethics covering 1974-2009. While EthxWeb has not been updated since 2011, it still remains a useful resource for those interested in non-current materials in an extensive range of topics related to bioethics.
*Note: This resource is sponsored by another university, so you will not have access to the full-text links in the database. Instead, use the citations of the items and search for the journal titles in the EWU catalog (see the link to the left). - GenETHX: Genetics and Ethics DatabaseThis collection contains bibliographic citations for resources that cover ethical issues related to human genetics including research, biobanks, etc. It is a database created by the staff at the Bioethics Research Library.
