Is There a Progressive Bioethicist in the House?

So our pal Jon Moreno, whom we've yammered about here over and over, did in fact pull off the progressive bioethics conference at the Center for American Progress in DC (Podesta's new and fascinating liberal think tank), and the video of the session, which features Moreno, Art Caplan, Alta Charo and Vanessa Gamble, is now up for you to watch. It is great.

Erika Check wrote a nice piece about the meeting as well, for Nature [PDF file]. [streaming video of proceedings].
