New to the bioethics.net blogosphere is Linda MacDonald Glenn. She's great and an old friend. Here's some info on her:

LINDA MACDONALD GLENN, JD, LLM (Biomedical Ethics, McGill) is a bioethicist, attorney, educator and consultant. Formerly a fellow with the Institute of Ethics with the American Medical Association, her research encompasses the legal, ethical, and social impact of emerging technologies and evolving notions of personhood. Prior to returning to an academic setting, she consulted and practiced as a trial attorney with an emphasis in patient advocacy, bioethical and biotechnology issues, end of life decision-making, reproductive rights, genetics, parental/biological "nature vs. nurture", and animal rights issues; she was the lead attorney in several "cutting edge" bioethics legal cases. She has advised governmental leaders and agencies, and published numerous articles in professional journals. She has taught at the University Of Vermont School Of Nursing, the Medical College of Wisconsin, the University of Illinois at Chicago Medical School and the University of Health Sciences Antigua, and has addressed public and professional groups internationally. Her extensive experience and passion for the issues facing the legal, nursing, and healthcare professions make her a compelling and thought-provoking lecturer.
