THE PRESIDENT’S COUNCIL ON BIOETHICS—REQUIESCAT IN PACE

That's the title of a piece by Dartmouth's Ronald Green in the new issue of the Journal of Religious Ethics.  Here's the abstract:

In mid-June 2009, the Obama administration dissolved the President’s Council on Bioethics (PCBE), a group established by President George W. Bush in August 2001 and whose nearly eight-year life was marked from beginning to end by controversy. While some will regret the PCBE’s passing, others will regard the Council as a failed experiment in doing public bioethics.
