From the editor...

Welcome to this issue of Health Care Ethics USA. Each issue of the journal is archived online with access to the current and the previous issues. The new online address is: http://chce.slu.edu/Partnerships_HCE_Intro.html

This first issue for 2006 contains three essays. The first essay is by Jan Heller who is System Director in the Office of Ethics and Theology at Providence Health & Services. His essay discusses "Moral Mistakes that Leaders Make." The second essay is by Alan Sanders who is Director of the Center for Ethics at Saint Joseph's Health System, Atlanta, Georgia and Healthcare Ethicist at Catholic Health East. His essay discusses "Assent in Medical Decision-Making with Children." The final essay is by Martin Onwu who is an Assistant General Counsel, United States Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, in Washington D.C. His essay discusses "The Relevance of the Principle of Cooperation for the Ethical Debate on Embryonic Stem Cell Research and Therapies." I hope you enjoy the essays.

In addition, I am pleased to include as front matter in this issue, just before the essays, an important announcement from the Director of the Center for Health Care Ethics about an exciting new partnership between Saint Louis University and the Catholic Health Association to publish Health Care Ethics USA.
