Résumé
The President's Council on Bioethics (Leon R. Kass, M.D., chairman) will hold its fifteenth meeting, at which, among other things, it will continue discussion of its stem cell research, "beyond therapy" (enhancement), and "biotechnology and public policy" (regulation) projects. Subjects discussed at past Council meetings (and potentially touched on at this meeting) include: human cloning; embryo research; aging retardation and lifespan-extension; organ procurement for transplantation; and assisted reproduction and reproductive genetics (including IVF, ICSI, PGD; sex selection, inheritable genetic modification; and the patentability of human genes, tissues, and organisms).
