Hi everybody,
I thought I'd let you know that I was nominated by Susan Sherwin and
Christopher Newell to serve on the IAB board. I am sure all of you know
Susan Sherwin. Christoper Newell is a member of the Australian Bioethics
society and a disabled scholar who works on bioethic issues and how they
affect marginalized groups such as disabled people. Many of you know me and
what my interests related to bioethics are. For the ones who don't know me
find below a short description as it appears in the original nomination form
sent in to the IAB office.
Hope this mail is appropriate for this list.
Take care,
Gregor
