“Bioethics Hates the Light”

That’s the title of a recent blog post by Wesley Smith. http://www.nationalreview.com/human-exceptionalism/347188/bioethics-hates-light

Smith’s post is a comment on the continuing controversy about the infamous article (by Guibilini and Minerva)  in the Journal of Medical Ethics defending after-birth abortion–or infanticide. The article caused a firestorm, and is now the subject of a special issue of the Journal of Medical Ethics. http://jme.bmj.com/content/39/5.toc  (The special issue contains a fine piece by John Finnis.) Smith focuses on a paper by Udo Schulenk, which is styled as a defense of academic freedom. As Smith explains, Schulenk’s main objection seems to be his concern that Smith (and others) brought the infanticide article to public attention and scrutiny.
