The Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics will begin this week a three-part discussion series designed to better connect members of the general public with some of the nation's leading scholars of medical and public health ethics, all of whom are working on issues that affect society at large. As a public service to the local community, the institute will host its first-ever Grounds for Discussion series at the Evergreen coffee house in Baltimore.
"For concerned citizens, moral dialogue can be empowering," said Ruth Faden, executive director of the Berman Bioethics Institute. "Everyone remembers the dilemma of the Terry Schiavo case. It was an agonizing debate for the nation, but it could have been resolved much sooner if educated public discourse had taken place. Interacting with the public about such difficult moral issues is important to help inform future debates."

"The visitor – President Bush – clicked the 'revert' button repeatedly, almost hysterically," Jarvis 229 said, "particularly in reference to the war in Iraq, Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, Plamegate, the NSA spy scandal, the Terry Schiavo intervention, the non-response to the Al Qaeda threat pre-9/11, the slow response to Hurricane Katrina, and the neutering of White House First Dog Barney. I think he thought he could actually roll back history."

Ted Bundy didn't even bother with forming a committee.
