About the Conference: The contemporary bioethical landscape is marked by two realities: the increasingly sophisticated issues presented by the emerging scientific and technological innovations forcing the expansion beyond traditional bioethical categories, as well as a global context in which these issues bypass borders and national governance. At the core of these two realities are the challenges these present to the fundamental notion of human dignity in a globalized world. Global Bioethics will explore human dignity as a fundamental concept to the global bioethics discussion, giving special attention to this concept in its historical, philosophical, and theological dimensions. Furthermore, Global Bioethics’ sessions will explore the emerging bioethical dilemmas arising in the global environment. A geographically diverse schedule of speakers will address these two realities of our contemporary bioethical landscape, covering the breadth of the cutting edge challenges and opportunities for human dignity with special attention focused on contemporary lessons in the areas biotechnology, end of life, black market organ transplantation, as well as disabilities and eugenics.

Who Should Attend: Bioethicists, clinicians, lawyers, media personnel, policy makers, researchers, academics, philosophers, theologians, christian leaders, clergy.
