Not started

Printed page 461 14. Department of Health and Human Services

“In addition, the Administration should reconvene a new National Council on Bioethics (NCB) to discuss new and emerging areas of ethical concern, to assess whether the ends justify the means when it comes to the promise of therapies and cures, and to establish what limiting principles should guide research and health policy.”

What has happened

  1. Not started

    No National Council on Bioethics has been reconvened. Full-text Federal Register searches for "National Council on Bioethics", "National Bioethics" and "President's Council on Bioethics" since 2025-01-20 all return 0 documents - a new federal advisory committee would have to file a charter notice there - and no presidential action in the window establishes such a body.

    No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.
