News from the Hastings Center

The Hastings Center Report has just released an issue focused on stem cell research, including a set of essays on a wide set of problems in the area. More, they have a great pair of articles by Ruth Macklin and Eric Cohen on the politics of bioethics - the subject of the summer ASBH/AMBI conference in Albany co-sponsored by AJOB, Penn, Stanford and Rockefeller Institute.

And news as well from their pastoral home along the Hudson: AMBI's Bonnie Steinbock, who has supported Hastings in many ways for many years, has been elected Chair of the Hastings Fellows Council, a long-standing group of academic researchers in the field with affiliation to the Center ... congrats to her.

And Bruce Jennings, a wonderful person, subtle and smart researcher and major force at Hastings since 1980, will be leaving the Center to serve as Director in the Center for Humans and Nature.
