[MaFLa] BIOETHICS - SZEGED - MAY 10-11st 2018

[Alexander Kremer]

BNAS 2018

2nd International Conference on Bioethics in the New Age of Science

10-11 May, 2018 • Szeged, Hungary

The International Conference on “Bioethics in the New Age of Science” 2018
will offer participants a support for exploring ethical and legal problems
in bioethics in the context of the new challenges generated by the
scientific discoveries of the 21st century. The aim of the conference is to
facilitate the multidisciplinary approach of bioethics, by gathering
specialists from bioethics and its connected fields through the five main
topics of the conference: *bioethics and law; medical ethics; ethical
aspects in research and biomedical technology; bioethics education;
bioethics committees.*

The fields of life sciences and medical biotechnologies have undergone
unprecedented development in the past few decades; the fact that these
sciences deal with the human being required a new moral perspective in
order to prevent possible abuses on the life, dignity, or autonomy of
people. While these progresses increased lifespan and life quality, they
were also real challenges for traditional values, ethics, and religious
beliefs. The strong impact of the new knowledge, as well as the
consequences of using biotechnologies, led to the revision of concepts such
those regarding the human being, freedom, will, family, responsibility,
dignity, etc. There are however many ethical and legal questions regarding
bioethics which are yet to be phrased – they will most likely be phrased
once new dilemmas and problems will arise and once new technologies which
protect the human being from abuses will arise.


The BNAS 2018 Conference will offer participants a setting for discussing
all these bioethical issues in order to discover new methods for
understanding them, while also revealing the adequate answers. The
conference is this happy to welcome academics, researchers, physicians,
philosophers, theologians, lawyers, jurists, psychologists, sociologists
and social workers, public policy workers, students, and members of ethics
committees.
