I subscribe to a newsletter of a British organization which provides superb news and informed commentary on current issues in biomedical ethics, from a British perspective. I don't know anything about the organization itself (Progress Educational Trust), except that in their editorial content they advocate what I'd characterize as a liberal, pro-research, approach, with a good dose of common sense. Perhaps one of our British colleagues can tell us something about them. I highly recommend subscribing to their (free) e-mail weekly newsletter. I think they'd provide an excellent resource for a course in biomedical thics.
