Our Approach

At Corpus Sui, we combine interdisciplinary research, critical analysis and public engagement to explore how medicine, law, ethics and society shape individual autonomy.

Rather than viewing these issues in isolation, we examine the relationships between institutions, lived experience and human dignity.

Our work is grounded in evidence, informed by diverse expertise and driven by a commitment to independent inquiry.

Corpus Sui brings together expertise across ethics, anthropology, clinical practice, and investigative research. Our work is collaborative and transversal: each member contributes a distinct perspective, but our activities converge around three core areas. Together, these areas allow us to examine how power operates over the body — analytically, empirically, and in specific cases where accountability is required.

Research & Field Inquiry

Understanding lived realities beyond institutional narratives

We conduct qualitative and field-based research to examine how policies and medical systems affect real lives. Our work focuses on the intersection of power, culture, and embodied experience.

We prioritise direct testimony, contextual analysis, and documentation grounded in lived conditions rather than abstract theory.

  • Field interviews and case documentation
  • Analysis of institutional practices in context
  • Mapping of emerging ethical tensions
  • Cross-disciplinary research collaboration

Ethical & Legal Analysis

Clarifying standards of autonomy, consent and institutional responsibility

We examine how ethical principles and legal frameworks shape decisions affecting bodily autonomy, informed consent and individual rights. Our work identifies areas where policy, regulation and institutional practice require greater clarity, accountability and respect for human dignity.

By combining ethical analysis with legal research, we contribute evidence-based perspectives that support transparent decision-making and informed public debate.

  • Policy and legislative analysis
  • Review of consent and capacity frameworks
  • Assessment of institutional practices
  • Position papers and expert commentary

Investigation & Accountability

Promoting transparency, accountability and responsible institutional practice

We investigate systemic issues where institutional practices may affect individual rights, ethical standards or public trust. Our work seeks to promote transparency, encourage accountability and contribute to constructive dialogue grounded in evidence rather than assumption.

Through independent analysis, documentation and collaboration with experts, we support a culture of responsibility and continuous improvement across healthcare, research and public institutions.

  • Independent investigations and case analysis
  • Documentation and evidence review
  • Institutional accountability and transparency
  • Public reports and recommendations
