Celltex hires Glenn McGee (To Texas from New York)
Y’all remember Gleen McGee? He’s the guy from Texas who daydreams about Richard Doerflinger and who resigned over accusations that he was less than ethical.what’s was one of the people I wrote about in “Ethicists for Hire.

Conscience upheld in Arizona Courts
Without a conscience, what is a doctor, nurse, or pharmacist except a technician willing to follow the whims of law? (Again, this is not sound-bite material!) I received an e-mail from the American Defense Fund concerning the lawsuit against the State of Arizona by Planned Parenthood over a law to protect those of us in … Continue reading
Trust me, I don’t have a conscience, again

Robin Alta Charo named FDA advisor
The University of Wisconsin at Madison has announced that Robin Alta Charo has been named senior adviser to the Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration.

Obama cancels meeting of President’s Council Bioethics
I wonder whether the new commission/committee/council will have even one pro-life member? Will Robert P.

Whose life is it, anyway?
Trait selection in babies “is a service,” says Dr. Steinberg. “We intend to offer it soon.” Whoops, someone noticed that some of this reproductive technology stuff might not be ethical.

Fox builds hen house
In the same set of news alerts that notified me of the Vatican’s condemnation of cloning and embryonic stem cell research, I read that Insoo Hyun is the lead author of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) Guidelines for the Clinical Translation of Stem Cells. The Guidelines are also published on line at … Continue reading
“A return to power”
That’s the sub-heading from Science Magazine’s “Obama takes the reigns.” The story was yesterday’s little “ScienceNOW” report on the (newly created) Office of the President Elect’s selection of Mario Molina, who will be co-lead for the review of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Molina has received the Nobel Prize for his … Continue reading
>The (manufactured) Stem Cell Debate at Dartmouth
