Following his discussion, the correspondents addressed the issues raised by Dr. Kass. Recently, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist had given his support to a bill that would expand federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. The bill had already passed the House (over the objection of majority leadership), but had been stalled in the Senate prior to Sen. Frist's decision. The bill, if passed in the Senate, had been threatened with the first veto of President Bush's presidency. Media reports also indicated that analysts did not expect the bill to pass by a margin large enough to override the president's veto. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/188371-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) C-SPAN Specials http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/188371-1 Sat, 06 Aug 2005 02:26:30 GMT Dr. Kass, Chairman of the President's Council on Bioethics, delivered a lecture, titled "Science, Politics, and the Dilemmas of Bioethics."

In the book, published by Times Books, Mr. Rauch argues that gay marriage can only have a positive influence on American society, and that conservatives should therefore be in favor of it. He asserts that, far from damaging the institution of marriage, allowing gay marriages would permit gays and their families to benefit from its stabilizing effects. Those who support marriage, the author claims, should also support gay marriage. The participants answered audience members' questions. Meade, Kass and Lott were in the audience. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/181648-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/181648-1 Sun, 02 May 2004 03:59:25 GMT Dr. Kass talked about a report by the President's Council on Bioethics on reproductive techniques and guidelines for assisted reproductive procedures.

According to Dr. Kass, modern biomedical technology is threatening to create a future reminiscent of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. He believes that scientific effort to master cloning and stem cell research, reproduction, aging, and illness will result in a post-human future that will exclude humanity from the equation. Dr. Kass describes humanity as "our awareness of need, limitation, and mortality to craft a way of being that has engagement, depth, beauty, virtue, and meaning." He calls for a new bioethics and a new biology that will take into account the not only the physical but the social, spiritual and psychological aspects of humanity as well.
