Pinker and the Brains
Here's a good exchange between evolutionary psychologist and The Blank Slate author Steven Pinker and assorted members of The President's Council on Bioethics (including Leon Kass and Charles Krauthammer).
Bioethics policy will be taking a backseat to foreign policy for a while, but it remains one of the most important topics imaginable. Check out a collection of Reason-related material here
and read Reason's October 2002 interview with Pinker here.
