From Birth to Death and Bench to Clinic: The Hastings Center Bioethics Briefing Book for Journalists, Policymakers, and Campaigns contains 36 overviews of issues in bioethics of high public interest, such as abortion, health care reform, human and sports enhancement, organ transplantation, personalized medicine, medical error, and stem cells. The chapters, written by leading ethicists, are nonpartisan, presenting reasonable considerations from various perspectives that are grounded in good scientific and ethical facts. They each include recent news stories, clickable experts to contact, linked resources, and (where available) recent legislation and campaign positions. Greater detail on how to use the book is in the introduction. The three framing essays offer valuable insights into the historical and increasing relevance of bioethics to public policy.

A New Definition of DeathFrom WIREDBioethicists Save Organ Donation by Tweaking the Definition of Death
By Brandon Keim
January 13, 2009 | 7:38:12 PM
In response to an emerging moral controversy over whether most vital organs used in transplants are technically taken from living people, the President's Council on Bioethics issued a new report that defines brain death as the cessation of engagement with the world. The report overturns the current neurological death standard's reliance on an outdated notion of the brain as the body's control center for physiological processes. The Council's definition of life as a process of engagement, which might sound like so much philosophical mumbo-jumbo, could keep the number of organ transplants from plummeting. "One is faced with a choice of saying that the notion of brain death
doesn't work, and since you're not supposed to take organs from a donor
until they're dead, we have to stop doing a lot of transplantation — or you
can find a better explanation for why total brain failure constitutes the
death of an organism," said Gilbert Meilaender, a Valparaiso University
bioethicist and Council member. "We offer a better philosophical
explanation." read more See also from WIRED:

Some interesting updates about stem cell research especially as we look
to a new era of scientific research under a new US President.
 But
today the field encompasses far more than just embryonic and adult stem
cells; it has expanded into the broader field of regenerative medicine,
and Melton's lab at Harvard is at the vanguard, bringing the newest type
of stem cells, which do not rely on embryos at all, closer to the
clinic, where patients will actually benefit. Last summer, Melton
stunned the scientific community with yet another twist, finding a way
to generate new populations of cells by reprogramming one type of fully
mature cell so it simply became another, bypassing stem cells
altogether.read more

The President's Commission on Bioethical Issues released the Executive Summary of its Report on the Ethics of Synthetic Biology and Emerging Technologies. (To read the full report, click here.)
The Report suggests five ethical principles that should inform our ethical evaluation and oversight of emerging technologies, and then makes 18 recommendations for public policy around synthetic biology. While The Report specifies synthetic biology, it is clear that the recommendations could, and are meant to, apply to many other emerging biotechnologies as well. The Report first rightly points out that, despite some of the media hype around the creation of an "artificial cell" by the Venter Institute last May, the cell did not "amount to creating life either as a scientific or a moral matter." The creation of a synthetic genome is a fine technological achievement, but it does not immediately require any change on our basic ethical oversight of biotechnology.read more
