Cross-Cultural Issues in Bioethics: The Example of Human Cloning - Other - Germany

Date: 04.12.2003, 09:00h to 06.12.2003, 13:40h
Location: Ruhr-Universität, Musisches Zentrum / Chorprobenraum
Bochum
Germany
Keywords: Biotechnology - Cloning - Embryo research - Eugenics/Enhancement - Stem cell research
Details: Human cloning is a main focus of current bioethical discussions. Involving the selfunderstanding of the human species, it has become one of the most intensely debated topics in biomedical ethics, not only on the national, but also on the international level. This conference brings together bioethicists from several countries who will address questions of human cloning within the context of different cultural, religious and regional settings against the background of globalizing biotechnology. It will thus explore on a cross-cultural level the problems and opportunities of global bioethics.
