You might want to drop James Hughes a line
(http://www.changesurfer.com/Hughes.html); he posted a couple of notes and
links to articles recently on the WTA list regarding the state of infighting
within bioethics. There are bioethicists who are challenging the more well
known figures and their hostile, anti-research views.

Still, bioethics is mostly corrupt and unnecessary, in my view. It's reached
that self-justifying, self-sustaining parasitic stage, sucking money from
actual medical research. Society-wide discussions on complex medical
research happened just fine before there were bioethicists and multi-million
dollar bioethics faculties paying staff six figure wages to figure out what
promising developments to rant against next.
