Leon Kass

Leon Kass is an American physician and philosopher.
In 2002, President Bush appointed Kass, a University of Chicago bioethicist, as head of the President's Council on Bioethics. Kass appointed the other 17 members, many of whom were associated with the neoconservative religious magazine First Things.Ronald Bailey, Tallying the New Bioethics Council: Has Leon Kass stacked the deck?, reasononline, 23 January 2002. 
A Reason article on the appointment offered this pen portrait:
::Let's start with the boss. Leon Kass is a physician and philosopher with a decidedly anti-modernist bent. A disciple of University of Chicago anti-modernist philosopher Leo Strauss, Kass has long believed that the Enlightenment was something of a mistake. In his view, its focus on individual rights and individual conscience undermines the traditional bases for morality.Ronald Bailey, Tallying the New Bioethics Council: Has Leon Kass stacked the deck?, reasononline, 23 January 2002.
