Abstract
Two mechanisms for developing public policy in bioethics – an independent commission and the ELSI “un-commission” of the Human Genome Project – are discussed. The author, a private consultant, was staff director of the first US bioethics commission and coordinated the ELSI Program of the US Department of Energy at its outset.Keywords
