Self-Organizing Man

Kathryn Hinsch is the founder of the Women’s Bioethics Project. In this report she documents the strategic investments the Christian Right has been making in a network of conservative bioethics thinktanks.

And in this speech she gives a summary of her findings:

Every day this conglomerate of conservative forces drives public opinion, advances legislation, emboldens conservative judges, and frames electoral politics to advance its agenda and to secure its power. It controls the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government and it is this that we need to hold in our minds as we look closer at the struggle to define the bioethics agenda.

<snip> what the Women’s Bioethics Project finds even more compelling and, frankly, frightening, is that well-established conservative think tanks that have traditionally focused on broad economic, social, and foreign policy issues have recently added “bioethics” to their political agendas.

Three guesses where trannies will fit in the conservative bioethics debate.  The so-called liberals scare me, too, what with their need to have everything be somehow tied to biology.  Be scared. Very. Very. Scared. (Original link via Cyborg Democracy)
