"The good news: The US professional bioethics community recognizes there are people of faith who are concerned about bioethical issues, but are outside the mainstream of the profession.

The bad news: Those "fundamentalist" bioethics individuals and centers are speaking primarily to themselves and to each other rather than engaging in public discourse."
