    Main Results:

    • The Encyclopedia of Bioethics has consistently overlooked or obscured the subject of racism.
    • There is a notable inattention to African American perspectives and contributions within bioethics.
    • Racism has not been adequately addressed as a core issue of justice in the Encyclopedia.

    Conclusions:

    • The field of bioethics, as represented by its central reference work, has failed to adequately incorporate the complexities of anti-Black racism.
    • Further reflection and critical engagement are needed to ensure bioethics fully addresses racism and promotes justice.
