Sandlin, this is a very interesting idea. I would agree that bioethics will be an increasingly urgent need as our ability to manipulate genetic markers or just use them to predict potential outcomes gets more and more powerful. Not to mention the biological impact of climate change, altering brain chemistry with microchips or designer drugs . . or on and on . . .
As to a career path . . . I suspect there will be more opportunities to work on this within academia, or even government, than you might suspect, but you could always Google "Natalie Angier" or "Gina Kolata" for a possible plan B.
