Francoise Baylis is Professor and Canada Research Chair in Bioethics and Philosophy at Dalhousie University, and founder of the NovelTechEthics research team. She is an elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences. Assisted human reproduction, research involving women, public health ethics, relational identity are but a few of the topics on which she works. In addition to her academic research, she contributes to national policy via government research contracts, membership on national committees and public education. This work--all of which is informed by a strong commitment to the common good--focuses largely on issues of justice and community.
Carolyn McLeod is Associate Professor of Philosophy, an Affiliate Member of Women's Studies and Feminist Research, and a member of the Rotman Institute of Philosophy at the University of Western Ontario. Most of her research deals with moral dilemmas that occur in reproductive health care and with the moral concepts needed to resolve these dilemmas. She has tackled moral dilemmas having to do, for example, with miscarriage, infertility, contract pregnancy, fertility preservation, and conscientious refusals by health care professionals to provide standard services such as abortions. She has also written about--among other concepts--autonomy, trust, integrity, objectification, and conscience.
