Quote of the Week

"The nature of biomedical research means it is constantly challenging our ideas about the world, ourselves and our health. Research into ethical issues surrounding medical science and healthcare is essential if our society is going to be able to make informed decisions about research and medicine."

— Clare Matterson, the Wellcome Trust’s Director of Medicine, Society and History, in "Oxford University to launch UK’s first neuroethics centre," Oxford University, June 24, 2008.
