The bioethics team examined the ethical dimensions of our iGem research project. Throughout the process undergraduate ethics students and faculty ethics advisor worked as a part of the iGem team and discussed with team ongoing ethical nuances of the project. This allowed to not just look at the ethical goals of the research and team but also to have an interdisciplinary perspective of the work throughout the development process from start to end. Unlike typical ethical assessments where ethics is a judgment of the research after the fact, our ethical work was a part of conducting the research itself.
