Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Biomedical Ethics and U. S. Public Policy: Hearing of the Committee on Labor and Human Resources, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session on Examining the Federal Role in Addressing the Social, Legal, and Ethical Issues Raised by Advances in Biomedical, Research and Technol The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 3:00 p. m., in room SD-430, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Senator Edward M. Kennedy (chairman of the committee) presiding. Present: Senator Kennedy. Opening Statement of Senator Kennedy The Chairman. The committee will come to order. I apologize to all of our witnesses. Most of them are familiar with the proceedings in this institution. We are late in getting started because of the vote, which was also late in getting started. So we will apologize to them in advance. Senator Hatfield is on his way. I will make a brief opening comment, and hopefully by that time the Senator will be here. Today´s hearing focuses on the social, legal, and ethical issues raised by advances in biomedical research and technology and the Federal Government´s capacity to address these questions. Last year, Senator Hatfield, Senator DeConcini, and I asked the Office of Technology Assessment to examine past Federal bioethics efforts and to identify the factors that contributed to their success and failure. Medicine and biomedical research are making dramatic progress in curing disease, increasing longevity, and improving the quality of life. But these medical advances also pose difficult and sometimes unexpected choices. We are now debating health reform, which is needed in part to reconcile available resources with the unmet needs of large numbers of our people and the simultaneous demand by those who can afford it for the best, latest, and often the most expensive treatment. Families benefit from new reproductive technologies, but they have also created new dilemmas involving surrogates and adoptions. We have made extraordinary progress in developing life-sustaining treatments that provide hope for many, but that also raise profound and difficult questions of individual rights and human dignity.
