- Title
PUBLIC BIOETHICS AND THE BUSH PRESIDENCY.
- Authors
Snead, O. Carter
- Abstract
The article explores the legacy of former U.S. President George W. Bush in bioethics. It notes that Bush based his bioethics policy on the equality of all human beings and promotes biomedical research with the aim of reducing human sufferings and promoting humane medical practice. To counter the claims of pro-stem cell research, Bush described a five-day old human embryos as a complete, living and whole individual and is a member of human species. He created the President's Council on Bioethics chaired by Doctors Leon R. Kass and Edmund Pellegrino.
