We speak to bioethicist Ruth Faden about the Trump administration’s abrupt shutdown of USAID-funded clinical trials, ending access to critical healthcare and putting patients at serious risk. “We’re in a situation in which we’re going to leave people abandoned. And that’s utterly ethically unacceptable,” says Faden.
