Lament for a Bioethics Council
My uncle, Gilbert Meilaender, was on the recently disbanded President’s Council on Bioethics. He has written about the ethics of medical and biological research for years including recently editing (together with William Werpehowski) The Oxford Handbook of Theological Ethics.
Whereas the previous councils wrestled with such questions as “What is the nature of human dignity?” the new one will most likely be addressing more practical policy options…
This is concerning.
