"Progressive bioethics would add ... a commitment to the freedom to explore, whether the exploration of the mind or the exploration of the sciences; and ...a belief that human dignity depends not on eschewing technology or adhering to a set of arbitrary rules, but rather in facilitating individual choices by creating a world that allows people to achieve their own personal goals and visions."
Alta Charo, Washington D.C., 10/3/2005

Majorities of Americans support universal healthcare, tech-pro policies


Posted: Mar 25, 2006

I don’t think I’d seen this encouraging Harris poll before, of 2,242 U.S. adults in Sept. 6- 12, 2005

“Please indicate whether you support or oppose the policy.”

Percent supporting:

96% Medicare (health insurance for the elderly and disabled)
93% Use of birth control/contraception
92% Condom use to prevent HIV and other STDs
91% Medicaid (health insurance for people with low incomes)
87% Sex education in high school
87% Funding of international HIV prevention and treatment programs
75% Universal health insurance
70% Embryonic stem cell research
70% Funding of international birth control programs
68% Withdrawal of life support systems/food for those in vegetative state
63% Abortion centers

There is a technoprogressive majority out there, in the U.S. and in the world. We just need to mobilize them.
