Structural anti-Black racism exists within the fields of bioethics and medicine. The colonial structures underlying bioethics render the geographies and subjectivities of Black scholars and patients "ungeographic," hidden by dominant White geographies. In this essay, I aim to illuminate more clearly the anti-Black racist structures embedded in bioethics and medicine by engaging with Katherine McKittrick's work Demonic Grounds: Black Women and the Cartographies of Struggle. Specifically, I apply McKittrick's concepts of Black geographies to the physical spaces of health care (which could be the hospital, intensive care ward, or birthing room) and the discursive space of bioethics journals and texts. Finally, recommendations are made for bioethics to build the capacity to hold a multiplicity of geographies simultaneously.
生物伦理学和医学领域存在结构性反黑人种族主义。生物伦理学的殖民结构使得黑人学者和患者的地理和主体性“非地理化”，被主流的白人地理所掩盖。在这篇文章中，我通过参与凯瑟琳·麦克基特里克的著作《恶魔之地：黑人女性与斗争的制图学》，旨在更清楚地阐明生物伦理学和医学中嵌入的反黑人种族主义结构。具体来说，我将麦克基特里克的黑人地理学概念应用于医疗保健的物理空间（如医院、重症监护病房或产房）以及生物伦理学期刊和文本的话语空间。最后，为生物伦理学提出了一些建议，以建立同时容纳多种地理的能力。
