Bioethics Invades Colorado

Chanting "nothing about us without us," the bioethicists from the American Society for Bioethics and the Humanities will first invade a monthly meeting of Denver's main disability rights group, when it converges on Denver this October 26-29, and then put away its signs and go on about the business of being long-winded in large hotels with expensive Internet. Denver is a nice choice for ASBH, I'm told, and the rooms are El Cheapo, but tickets aren't, so buy now, friends and neighbors.

For a peek at the program, download this Annual Meeting Brochure.

Interestingly, I note that the program declares:
"The ASBH Annual Meeting is designed for physicians, educators, nurses, members of the clergy, social workers, and others engaged in endeavors related to clinical and academic bioethics and the healthrelated humanities."
- which seems to imply that the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Bioethics and the Humanities is not, in fact, designed for bioethicists or humanists (except insofar as they fall into the category of "others").
Well.
