Why Women Should Care About Neuroethics
Advances in neuroscience are going to
pose some of the most important ethical questions yet about what it
means to be human, and will challenge our concepts and viewpoints on
gender and genetic determinism, free will, and what sets us apart from
other species. This year, we will be launching several exciting
initiatives designed to encourage women to engage on these issues.
 The first, in coordination with the Dana Foundation’s Brain Awareness Week, is a lecture on Why Women Should Care About Neuroethics. Our featured expert will be Judy Illes, Ph.D.,
Director of the Program in Neuroethics at the Stanford Center for
Biomedical Ethics, founding member of the Neuroethics Society, and
editor of “An Anthology in 21st Century Neuroethics” published by Oxford University Press.
Please email info@womensbioethics.org for registration information. Seating is limited for the March 16th Seattle area luncheon. For those who can’t attend, the lecture will be available via podcast.
Women's Bioethics Project Joins the
Tides Center Family
After many years under the fiscal sponsorship of the Women’s Funding Alliance, the Women’s Bioethics Project has now joined the Tides Center
family. The Tides Center is the nation’s leading values-based sponsor
of social innovation and provides back-office services, a legal
framework, and capacity-building support for projects that share its
vision of a just, healthy, and sustainable world. We are delighted to
have been selected as one of their sponsored programs and look forward
to building our capacity to bring women’s voices to issues in emerging
technologies. We’d like to thank the Women’s Funding Alliance for their early support.
Scholar Blogger: Dr. Ana Lita
 We have recruited scholars and public policy
analysts from around the world to provide daily news and commentary on
the implications of bioethical issues for women via our blog.
This month we are featuring WBP
scholar-blogger Dr. Ana Lita, Director of the International Humanist
and Ethical Union - Appignani Center for Bioethics in NYC. As a United
Nations affiliated organization, the center plays a unique role in the
international community and is dedicated to developing innovative
bioethics public policy.
Dr. Lita is the recipient of a Soros
Foundation Fellowship and a National Association Fellowship for
International Scholars. You can read some her posts here.
