Welcome to the 2010 National Undergraduate Bioethics Conference website
The National Undergraduate Bioethics Conference (NUBC) will be held on March 26-27, 2010 at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington. Hosted last year by Harvard, the NUBC is the seminal conference organized by and for the next generation of bioethicists, philosophers, theologians, scientists, doctors, and policy-makers.
We are thrilled that the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities (ASBH) selected the University of Puget Sound to host the NUBC. We think the natural, academic and political diversity and richness of the Pacific Northwest will provide a vibrant setting for this year's conference.
In response to the increasingly desperate state of health care in America, we are placing a special emphasis on discussing health care reform at this year's conference. The theme, Bioethics in Obama's America, reflects the change we've already seen and the progress we hope the conference will inspire.
