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

[Gina Miller]

Go to this url: http://www.bioethics.gov/reports/beyondtherapy/index.html . Under the image of the book in very small print you will see "If you are interested in ordering a report, please send requests with the name of the report and your full mailing address to info at bioethics.gov. Please allow 6 to 8 weeks for delivery." I sent for a copy using this address and the book was mailed to me about a week and a half later without charge. Gina

  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
