Kansas City, MO – The Center for Practical Bioethics is bringing a pediatric specialist to Kansas City to fill the John B. Francis Chair in Bioethics to educate the public about complicated medical issues, talk with policy makers about these topics and do research. KCUR's Kelley Weiss recently talked with the bio-ethicist about his views on the local stem cell debate, Medicaid coverage and life science research.
