A small thank you to our supporters
Ever since it started publication in 1993, Issues in Medical Ethics has depended on the voluntary support of scores of well-wishers. Our readers and subscriberswrite in with their comments, news, ideas for follow-up. Institutions send us their publications for perusal. Medical professionals and academics find time out of their busy schedules to prepare thoughtful essays on subjects after much reflection, research and other effort.
Our latest effort, www.issuesinmedicalethics.org, has also involved such voluntary efforts with dozens of doctors, computer professionals and other well-wishers exhausted, frustrated and close to breakdown. We would like to thank them all. At the end of this, we have a website, as well as a CD-ROM with an archive of all our issues for those who have more limited access to the internet.
