Michael Cook: “Rethinking the Bioethical Landscape”
MercatorNet editor Michael Cook evaluates the political picture of bioethics after the election of Barack Obama as president of the United States:
The electoral tidal wave which swept Democrat Barack Obama into the White House and Democrat majorities into the Senate and the House of Representatives could reshape the bioethical landscape in the United States.
[...]
[Obama's] attitudes on bioethical issues like these will show whether Obama is a vote-hungry pragmatist, a progressive ideologue, or basically a Christian social democrat. Any of these interpretations can be supported – although the last of these is increasingly unlikely.
