About Me

Glenn McGee is widely recognized for his work with the Bioethics Education Network, where he is Editor-in-Chief of The American Journal of Bioethics. From his offices in Albany, New York, Mr. McGee created what has been hailed as bioethics' single most important source of information: The American Journal of Bioethics. McGee has been instrumental in expanding The American Journal of Bioethics from paper to a 20 million viewer per year Internet presence and has taken the Journal and website out of the confines of the university environment and into the general public.



As a graduate student at Vanderbilt University, Glenn McGee distinguished himself as a scholar by becoming the first graduate student in the history of the Philosophy program to finish the doctoral qualifying exam before even beginning the program, as well as being the first student to finish both his Masters degree and Ph.D. in three years. While a student at Vanderbilt, Mr. McGee received co-direction on his dissertation from one of the number one figures in bioethics, American philosophy, population genetics, and social thought. McGees dissertation would go on to receive an award and become the core of one of bioethics' most cited books about genetics, The Perfect Baby: A Pragmatic Approach to Genetics (Rowman & Littlefield).



Dr. McGee performed his undergraduate work at Waco, Texas Baylor University, where he majored in philosophy and environmental studies. He was honored as an Outstanding Young Alumnus in 2000 by Baylor and listed as one of the 150 Most Famous Graduates of Baylor eight years later. Glenn McGee was awarded a post-doctoral fellowship by the U.S. National Institutes of Health through the Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues (ELSI) division of the NIH National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and conducted through the University of Iowa's Genome Core. While in Iowa City, he worked in the area of ethics in genetics.
