FUTURE TENSE
The theme for the 2008 Meeting, the tenth anniversary meeting, of the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities is Future Tense. As we look back on the first ten years and ahead to the next ten years of ASBH, we invite you to think about the many meanings one might extrapolate from this phrase. What new issues will face bioethics and medical humanities? What recurring and unresolved issues will continue to demand our attention? How, for example, should notions of transhumanism influence public policy? How does science fiction provide models of and models for our current concerns over the future? How accurate have our predictions about the moral dilemmas surrounding new technology been and how can we do better? What moral assumptions have yet to be empirically examined? What is the future for narrative medicine? What is the future for graduate education in bioethics and medical humanities? How will clinical ethics consultation evaluation and core competencies evolve? What is the future for ASBH?
