Finally a DC Bioethics Think Tank? The Center for American Progress Holds a Bioethics Summit

Our man Jonathan Moreno, who has spent a sabbatical at the Center for American Progress and has some great ideas about the importance of bioethics' participation in new ways in Washington policy debates, is the focus of an event at the Center, where his book will be the touchstone for a conversation about "progressive bioethics" that features Art Caplan, Alta Charo and Vanessa Gamble. Information about the program - which is October 3rd at the Center on H Street - is available via the link. RSVP required.
