    SESSION ABSTRACT

    Bioethicists have been proactive in their attempt at preventing the exclusion of people from socially identifiable marginalized groups. However, in decision making spaces such as research ethics boards, there is no procedure to recognize or prevent the exclusion of non-socially identifiable groups. My research focuses on how people who are neurodiverse may be inadvertently and unjustly excluded from participation in clinical trials and presents recommendations for REB members to ensure justice for this group.
