Dear Colleagues in the Asian Bioethics Network,

I want to interest you in a conference from March 17-20 in New Delhi on Indic bioethics that is being organised by the Anthropological Survey of India which will cover in one of its panels, bioethics from an Indic perspective.  I am helping organise this together with Dr N.K. Das of the Anthropological Survey of India and Prof Asha Mukerjee of Vishva Bharati, Shanti Niketan Calcutta. I am attaching herewith the concept paper I prepared as background for the Indic bioethics problem. The issues that we would cover in our session are given there.  I think as participants in the Asian Bioethics Network you would be interested in attending this conference - considering the influence of Indic philosophical positions, say from Buddhist and Hindu approaches, on the Asian region..

The URL for the conference is as follows http://wwwishg2009ansi.gov.in/concept_symposium.html

I do hope you would be able to participate including presenting a paper.

With best wishes,

Susantha Goonatilake
