The President's Council on Bioethics

The President's Council on Bioethics (PCBE[1]) is a group of individuals appointed by United States President George W. Bush to advise his administration on bioethics. Established on November 28, 2001, by Executive Order 13237, the Council is directed to "advise the President on bioethical issues that may emerge as a consequence of advances in biomedical science and technology."[2] The members of the council are appointed directly by the President; the President also chooses the chairperson of the Council (currently Edmund D. Pellegrino). Council members, totaling no more than 18, are appointed for a two-year term, after which time they may be reappointed by the President. Individuals appointed cannot be officers or employees of the federal government. Executive Order 13237 [3] was renewed in 2003 and again in 2005.
