How the Report made a difference: reflections on a 15th anniversary.

To mark the 15th anniversary of the Hasting Center Report, six authors who have written for the Report since its beginning comment briefly on an article or a theme from the Report that has had an impact on their thinking or on the way that bioethics has developed as a discipline. The titles of the commentaries are as follows: "In praise of William May's 'attitudes'" (A.M. Capron); "On opening human experimentation to moral debate" (S. Bok); "Learning from Ramsey" (R.A. McCormick); "Toward a science of particulars" (E.J. Cassell); "Challenging the power of codes" (R.M. Veatch); and "Relating moral principles and moral behavior" (D. Callahan).
