Dear Friends,

I have collected the responses to my ASBH panel inquiry yesterday. To the
best I can determine, it looks like there are at least 4 panel ideas here,
and lots of shuffling to be done:

(1) Rights-based approaches towards safeguarding/strengthening womens'
sexual and reproductive rights:
      (a) Mary Rawlinson -- UNESCO
      (b) Laura Purdy -- religious right
      (c) Arleen Salles
      (d) Carolyn McLeod -- conscientious objection by health care
providers
      (e) Robin Fiore -- same topic as Carolyn
      (f) Rosie Tong -- universalism/relativism
      (g) Mary Mahowald -- embryo adoption
      (h) Marin Gillis -- stem cell research/ova donation

(2) We could split off some of the folks from (1) into a discussion about
religion in feminist bioethics, which might include:
      (a) Laura Purdy
      (b) Arleen Salles
      (c) Rosie Tong
      (d) Toby Schonfeld -- Jewish bioethics and feminism

(3) Justice and Caring in Global Context
      (a) Lisa Eckenwiler
      (b) Helene Starks

(4) Parenting
      (a) Mary Mahowald -- embryo adoption
      (b) Marin Gillis -- ova donation
      (c) Leslie Bender -- legal misunderstandings of biological motherhood

Clearly, panel 1 is too large and must be split, but HOW that gets split is
up for disucssion. I think the more FAB panels we submit, the better. So,
let's continue the conversation about where folks think their work fits the
best, and who will take leadership for each of these ideas. I'd be happy to
be the "central repository" for these ideas until the panels are formed,
and then trust that those folks can work up their own abstracts.

Toby
