[extropy-chat] Being Human: Readings from the President's Council on Bioethics

[Jef Allbright]

Interesting that this "government publication" by Leon Kass is being 
limited in its distribution in some unclear way, while it continues to 
be promoted on the bioethics website.  Could it be that the bioethics 
panel believe that the appearance of this work is more valuable than its 
content?

Does anyone here have any insight into this, or know how to obtain a copy?

Thank you for your interest in the works of the Council.

We regret to inform you that we have run out of copies of Being Human 
due to the unforeseen demand for this publication. Unfortunately, our 
copyright agreements prevent us from posting the book on our website or 
from printing further copies at this time.

We are looking at different options and will keep your name on a waiting
list. We thank you for your understanding.

The President's Council on Bioethics
