Glenn Edwards McGee (born in Waco, Texas) is an American bioethicist. He holds degrees in philosophy from Vanderbilt University and Baylor University and completed a post-doctoral fellowship in the Human Genome Project. He has been noted for his work on reproductive technology and genetics and for advancing a theory of pragmatic bioethics, as well as the role of ethicists in society and in local and state settings in particular.
Career
McGee was the President of the Ethics Research Division at Celltex Therapeutics Corporation but resigned his position as of February 28th, 2012, according to his twitter
He is a former John B. Francis Endowed Chair in Bioethics at the Center for Practical Bioethics in Kansas City, succeeding John Lantos, inaugural holder of the Chair.
McGee founded and is former editor-in-chief of the American Journal of Bioethics, the highest impact journal in the categories of "History & Philosophy of Science", "Ethics", "Social Issues", and "Biomedical Social Issues" (according to the Journal Citation Reports). He is founder of its web site bioethics.net (1994). In 2010, The American Journal of Bioethics became a group of journals, including two new publications, AJOB Neuroscience and AJOB Primary Research. McGee is also a member of the Honorary International Editorial Advisory Board of the Mens Sana Monographs
From 1995-2005, McGee was an assistant professor of medical ethics, cellular and molecular engineering, and philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania. In 2005, he assumed the John Balint, M.D. Endowed Chair in Medical Ethics, in Albany, NY. He became a full Professor, was tenured, and became founding director of the Alden March Bioethics Institute at Albany Medical College of Union University. Three years later, he was demoted from the position of Director of the Institute and removed from the Balint Chair. This termination and the end of his relationship with the College were the subject several articles on the website of Scientific American. McGee filed a lawsuit against the College and ultimately departed under terms disclosed to the media by neither party.
Publications
McGee has authored many scholarly articles, essays, reviews, and two books, including The Perfect Baby: Parenthood in the New World of Cloning and Genetics and Beyond Genetics, and edited a number of books both personally and as Senior Editor of the MIT Basic Bioethics book series, which he founded with Arthur Caplan. His speeches on stem cell research have been reprinted in anthologies, and a number of his articles appear in textbooks in bioethics and in medical and other scientific fields. From 2005-2007 he authored a monthly column for The Scientist, and during the same time a column for the Albany Times-Union. Prior to that, he co-authored a column on bioethics for MSNBC.com.
