Closing the Circle
BioLaw Ethics Institute has formed a cross-disciplinary circle of professionals for the benefit of our members, and ultimately for their clients.
Closing the Circle means linking all the professions in a coordinated effort on behalf of our mutual clients. It means providing our clients with the sense of security that comes from all of us – attorneys, donors, donor agencies, physicians, psychologists, and others – coming together on their behalf. It means keeping everyone in the loop so our clients can achieve their goals.
ART relationships are long-term commitments: to advocate, research, assist, manage crises and build alliances across professions.
Today there is a great need to include, acknowledge and involve all professionals involved with supporting families created with assisted conception. Thus the concept of Closing the Circle.
Community Dialogue & Professional Coordination
BioLaw Ethics Institute facilitates communications among professionals by providing online and in-person forums in which they can communicate, away from the demands of particular cases. As our work becomes intertwined, it affects, not only our clients, but also each other’s ability to do quality work in a timely fashion.
Our Learning Center for ART Professionals brings you up to speed and into touch with professionals working in the vanguard of every element of ART.
Teleseminars
BioLaw Ethics Institute provides teleseminars on a variety of ART-related topics, always accessible to any professional familiar with ART processes and issues.
Inaugural Summit 2011
BioLaw Ethics Institute will hold our first leadership conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico in the autumn of 2011. We will explore “Closing the Circle” and develop practice guidelines for ART professionals to implement. If you are interested in participating on the Summit Advisory Group, please send an email.
White Papers & Resources
Our web site features links to white papers exploring issues emerging or in flux. We are also a resource on specific laws, rules and regulations affecting your practice. Members may communicate here with authors and others to discuss the implications of each article through comments and interactive forum.
Member Action
Join the Circle and become a member of the BioLaw Ethics Institute. Each member plays an important role in providing innovations and solutions to emerging professional issues. The community of members is our greatest resource. Here you find professionals with expertise in every field related to or involved in ART. The alliances we build here benefit our professions and our clients. The synergies that result mean there are fewer unpleasant or unanticipated surprises, so we can all play at the top of our game.
The challenges inherent in ART are too complex for professionals to work in isolation. When we understand each others’ roles in ART, we become resources for each other, rather than unknown quantities, or even impediments.
