Jeffrey Brainard and Scott Smallwood Bush Cuts 2 Dissenters From Federal Bioethics Advisory Council. (... [United States] President [George W.] Bush removed two dissenting members of his bioethics advisory council in February, renewing criticism that he is playing politics with scientific policy. But the council's chairman dismisses those charges as "rubbish." Elizabeth H. Blackburn, a biologist at the University of California at San Francisco, and William F. May, a medical ethicist and retired professor at Southern Methodist University, were not reappointed to the President's Council on Bioethics. The council advises the president on ethical issues related to medical technology and research. In the council's 2002 statement on cloning, Ms. Blackburn and Mr. May supported a minority report that the government should not ban scientists from creating cloned embryos as a source of stem cells for medical research. Other keywords and phrases -- bioethics, dissent, federal, government, human, public policy, science -- from the text of the article) Chronicle of Higher Education Volume 50, Number 27 (March 12, 2004): page A25.
