CBHD is Moving to LeTourneau University
https://www.cbhd.org/announcements/cbhd-to-letu

The Center for Bioethics & Human Dignity (CBHD) is delighted to announce that we are relocating to LeTourneau University in Longview, Texas. LeTourneau is acquiring CBHD from Trinity International University (TIU) through a grant transfer, and the Center’s staff—Matthew, Bryan, Anna, and Heather—will become LeTourneau employees as of January 1.

Michael Sleasman has accepted a faculty position in LeTourneau’s School of Theology and Vocation, to begin July 1, as part of LeTourneau’s plan to launch an MA Bioethics program.

LeTourneau University is the Christian Polytechnic University, which positions CBHD well for its next phase, particularly with respect to Bioethics 2.0 issues that involve questions of what it means to be human in our increasingly technological world.

New INTERSECTIONS "Emmanuel: The Word Made Flesh" by Anna B. Vollema, PhD (Cand.)
https://www.cbhd.org/intersections/emmanuel-the-word-made-flesh

NOTE: This poem intersperses poetic reflection with quotations from Scripture (versions noted) and excerpts from “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” originally a Latin monastic hymn (“Veni, Veni Emmanuel”) from the 8th or 9th century. The English text is a translation by John Mason Neale, published in 1851.

On this , stand with CBHD in affirming a distinctly Christian conception of bioethics.

In an era when advanced technologies are challenging notions of personhood, where debates surrounding the beginning and end of life are increasingly polarized, and where the dignity of human life is often undervalued, our mission to provide thought leadership in the arena of bioethics is more crucial than ever.

Living in a world brimming with brokenness, sin, and injustice is not an easy task. Bryan Johnson's bodily worship works as a form of escapism that fills his days with a socially isolating regimen that provides a false sense of control. Yet, as Katie Drummond points out, Bryan Johnson is going to die.
