Politics and Bioethics Conference Wrap-up
In sessions titled “The States and Bioethics: Stem Cells” and “The Endarkenment: Bioethics in a Time of NeoConservatism,” I spent the last few days surrounded by self-proclaimed “liberals,” “progressives,” “leftists,” and “women.” (I know, I’m a woman, but evidently not their kind of woman.)
