  • Leon Richard Kass (born February 12, 1939) is an American physician, scientist, educator, and public intellectual. Kass is best known as a proponent of liberal arts education via the "Great Books," as a critic of human cloning, life extension, euthanasia and embryo research, and for his tenure as chairman of the President's Council on Bioethics from 2001 to 2005. Although Kass is often referred to as a bioethicist, he eschews the term and refers to himself as "an old-fashioned humanist. A humanist is concerned broadly with all aspects of human life, not just the ethical." Kass is currently the Addie Clark Harding Professor Emeritus in the College and the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago and the Hertog Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. His books include Toward A More Natural Science: Biology and Human Affairs; The Hungry Soul: Eating and the Perfecting of our Nature; Life, Liberty, and the Defense of Dignity: The Challenge for Bioethics; The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis; and What So Proudly We Hail: The American Soul in Story, Speech, and Song. "For his students and readers," Yuval Levin summarizes, "Leon Kass has laid out a path of inquiry showing that those questions that bedevil us most today have been with us for countless generations, and have to do not with the latest modern excess, but with man’s unchanging nature, wants, needs, and potential. It is a path...that opens with a question: How does man thrive?" (en)
  • Leon Richard Kass es un bioético estadounidense que nació el 2 de febrero de 1939, es conocido por liderar el esfuerzo por detener las investigaciones científicas sobre células madres embrionarias y clonación mientras fue el director del "Consejo Presidencial sobre Bioética" en el período 2002-2005.​ Kass obtuvo grados de S.B. y M.D. (1958; 1962) en la Universidad de Chicago y en 1967 se doctoró en bioquímica en la Universidad de Harvard.​ Posteriormente entre 1972 y 1976 dio clases en el .​Actualmente sigue siendo miembro del Consejo Presidencial y es el Addie Clark Harding Professor en el College y el "Comité para la Enseñanza de Ciencias Sociales" en la Universidad de Chicago. El pensamiento de Leon Kass respecto a la clonación de seres humanos es que, según nos refiere, despersonalizaría la reproducción humana, tendría influencia significativa sobre las generaciones futuras y finalmente provocaría la degradación del hombre.​ Sus críticos acusan a Kass de haber completado el Consejo con anti-aborcionistas y opositores a las investigaciones con células madre embrionarias, y haber rechazado a aquellas personas que no estaban de acuerdo con él, como por ejemplo Elizabeth Blackburn.​ (es)
