University Faculty for Life conference

Readers might be interested in the University Faculty for Life conference that was recently hosted by Ave Maria School of Law. A press release about the conference is available on the Ave Maria website here. Highlights of the conference included two plenary talks--one by John Keown of Georgetown on "Euthanasia in Europe" and the other by Richard Wilkins of BYU on "International Law: A Threat to the Right to Life?" The conference also featured a panel discussion on the Terri Schiavo case. The conference papers will be published in University Faculty for life's annual volume.

I'd also like to encourage folks to consider joining University Faculty for Life (UFL). UFL is an interdisciplinary group of scholars that has encouraged the scholarly work of pro-life academics for 15 years. Our next annual meeting in June of 2006 will be at Villanova. I'd be happy to talk with anyone who has questions about the organization.
