The Fellows of the Institute represent very diverse constituencies. Most are in academic posts. Some are policy experts. Others are in leadership roles in other national organizations. Some are politically conservative, some politically progressive. Some are secular, some conservative in their religious convictions, some more liberal. Between them, they represent many networks from across the political and religious spectrum. But they have this in common: a determination to ensure that developments in biotechnology sustain, and do not subvert, crucial social values.
