meeting three

Jim Wagner:

Let’s ask folks to take their seats. There’s quite a bit of chatter in the intermission, which is wonderful. Hugh, you want to come up, so I can have an opportunity to introduce you.

 

Amy Gutmann:

We will begin with the first principle of Democratic Deliberation and Dan.

 

Dan Sulmasy:

Amy Gutmann:

Good Morning, I’m Amy Gutmann, President of the University of Pennsylvania and I’m Chair of the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues. The President of Emory University joins me, Jim Wagner, who is the Vice Chair of the Commission, and all of the commissioners, save Raju, who may be on speakerphone. Raju, are you here? No, Raju isn’t. Let me just go around and ask each of the Commission members to introduce themselves, beginning with Nelson Michael.

 

Nelson Michael:
