Dear Colleagues,

People who wish to submit abstracts to present at the forthcoming UNESCO-Kumamoto University Thrid Bioethics Roundtable: What is Medical? 12-13 December. Deadline for abstracts 30 September, 2009, 300 words in English.

The Third Joint UNESCO-University of Kumamoto Joint Bioethics Roundtable: What is Medical?

This Third Joint Bioethics Roundtable will be convened 12-13 December, 2009 in Kumamoto, on the Island of Kyushu in Japan. The University of Kumamoto has ongoing cooperation with the Regional Unit in Social and Human Sciences in Asia and the Pacific (RUSHSAP), UNESCO Bangkok as an active member of the UNESCO Asia-Pacific School of Ethics. In 2008 the theme was �The Value of Life�, and in 2007, the theme of this international roundtable was �Perspectives on Self-determination�.

This conference will include presentations and discussion in an informal setting with some of Japan�s leading bioethicists, and some international colleagues. Kumamoto has a multidisciplinary group working on bioethics, under the direction of Prof. Takao Takahashi, Dean of the Graduate School of Social and Cultural Sciences. The University is famous for its tradition of challenging the status quo, with its pioneering work which lead to the revelation of Minamata Disease, a milestone in international public health and for development of environment and health standards for industry.

The theme of �What is Medical?� Will examine the questions such as the boundaries of enhancement and therapy in medicine, neurosciences, and cosmetics, that can vary between cultures, and affect the development of ethical policy to implement international standards in bioethics.

Participants are welcome from any country, and inquiries to Prof. Takahashi, ttaka@...; and Prof. Darryl Macer.

Dear Colleagues,

You are welcome to join the:

Expert Consultation on Ethics of Energy Technologies and Social Sciences in Asia and the Pacific

25 August, 2009

Bangkok, Thailand

The Regional Unit in Social and Human Sciences in Asia and the Pacific (RUSHSAP) at UNESCO Bangkok is holding a one day consultation for social science experts from across the Asia-Pacific region to critically discuss the draft reports of the Ethics of Energy Technologies in Asia and the Pacific (EETAP) project.

The project was launched in September 2007 and aims to encourage science and value-based discussions on environmental ethics to produce substantive cross-cultural and multidisciplinary outputs that will be relevant for long-term policy making. Since 2007 there have been a number of subsequent conferences and working group sessions organized in many different countries, including several roundtables at the Sixth Ordinary Session of COMEST.

The primary outputs will be the multidisciplinary network, and reports with policy options (not recommendations), and the governments of all member countries in the region have been consulted on the project. Fifteen working groups exist at present on the following topics:

Universalism and environmental values
Ethical worldviews of nature
Visions and hopes of the future
Representation and who decides
Community engagement
Stakeholder responsibilities
Energy equity and human security
Cost-benefit analysis and economic constructions
Adoption & development of energy technologies (state of the art review)
Ethical frameworks for research agendas and policy
Educational frameworks for environmental ethics
Nuclear dialogues
Energy flow, environment, and ethical implications of meat production
Water ethics and water resource management
Gender, Environment and Energy Technologies

The members participate as individuals in the highest standards of intellectual vigor and integrity, integrating engineers, philosophers, policy makers, experts, youth, and persons of many different cultural backgrounds and experiences. The reports are subject to ongoing open peer review. There is ongoing discussion of draft reports on the yahoo group, unesco_eet@yahoogroups.com, with regional Ministries and at the ordinary session of COMEST in 2009.

For draft reports and specific requests for further case studies and analyses please examine the regularly updated working group webpages which list the members, and the overall website, http://www.unescobkk.org/rushsap/energyethics

Persons who are interested in participating in the event from 9:00 � 17:00, should contact Dr. Darryl Macer, Regional Advisor in Social and Human Sciences in Asia and the Pacific, Regional Unit in Social and Human Sciences in Asia and the Pacific (RUSHSAP) at UNESCO Bangkok or +66(0) 2391 0577, extension 147 or email rushsap@....

There is no registration fee, and lunch is included. The venue is the Saracha Room, 3^rd Floor, Arnoma Hotel Bangkok, 99 Ratchadamri Road, Pathumwan, Bangkok 10330. The consultation precedes two other conferences held w in cooperation with RUSHSAP, UNESCO Bangkok; the 18th Biennial Conference of the Association of Asian Social Science Research Councils (AASSREC) that is hosted by the National Research Council of Thailand 27-29 August, 2009; and the Nanoethics Asia Conference to be held at Chulalongkorn University on 26 August, 2009.

Dear All,

The dates for the sixth ordinary session of the World Commission of
the Ethics of Science and Technology (COMEST) have been set to be
16-18 June, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. There will also be a satellite
on 15 June. COMEST will be finalizing a report on ethics of climate
change, and several of the regional EETAP reports that are ready
(having completed review stages) will also be tabled there. The COMEST
report will go to the General Conference of UNESCO.

The WG reports will also be important documents, and these will
hopefully come at the critical time as UN documents in the
preparations for the Climate change convention to be discussed this
year.

There will be some space for open contributions, on ethics of climate
change, energy ethics, science ethics, nanotechnology ethics,
establishing national infrastructure for ethical science policy and
several other topics. Please send 250 word abstracts by 10 April to me
for consideration.

There will be no registration fee to the conference.

With best wishes

Darryl

Listen to Beijing's brilliant, dedicated, witty, energetic, health, and upward-bound Zhou Ying discuss 'Veganism Saves the Earth' in Mandarin.

She translated into Mandarin the Boston Vegan Association brochure: Respecting Animals ... Means Going Vegan.

She translated into Mandarin the Boston Vegan Association brochure: "Respecting Animals ... Means Going Vegan".

So, I'm waiting to see the Mandarin version of "Respecting Animals ... Means Going Vegan" uploaded to the BVA website.

Dear Jody,

Thanks for your interest. The tone of the book tends to be more
philosophical, but other papers dealing with social or legal issues are
also very welcome.

Dear Jody,

Thanks for your interest. The tone of the book tends to be more
philosophical, but other papers dealing with social or legal issues are
also very welcome.

All the Best,
Soraj

Genomics and Bioethics:
Interdisciplinary Perspectives, Technologies and Advancements

A book edited by Dr. Soraj Hongladarom
Chulalongkorn University, Thailand

To be published by IGI Global: http://www.igi- global.com/ requests/ details.asp? ID=641

Introduction
Today's world is one in which science and technology play an essential role in almost every aspect of life. Almost all of the changes that are taking place are due to advances in science and technology, as can be seen in the emergence of the Internet, which has enabled information to explode exponentially in the past few years, and biotechnology, which has made such scenarios as human cloning and genetic manipulation of organisms an everyday reality.

Nowadays the two technologies are being seamlessly merged together. Genetic information technology, made possible by the use of information technology in the life sciences, has created a number of ethical and social concerns. It seems now that plants and animals, indeed potentially all organisms, are malleable to the needs and desires of human beings. The human genome sequence, perhaps what constitutes the essence of human beings, is now no more than a piece of information that can be stored and manipulated by computers, not unlike other types of data such as house registrations and health records.

This merging of information and biological technologies has created a whole host of questions related to its social, ethical, cultural, economic and legal contexts. What is most interesting is how one could understand these social and ethical ramifications in the context of the world's cultures and historical traditions. The voluminous literature on the ethical, social and legal aspects of life sciences and biotechnology show that there is indeed a very large variety of problems related to the social and cultural contexts of science and technology. However, what is lacking in this literature is a sustained effort to comprehend the complex range of questions and issues that emerge when these scientific and technological advancements have found a way to the socio-cultural fabric of the world's cultures, including, but not limited to, Asian, African, and European societies, cultures and communities.

Thus, chapter proposals for the book, entitled Genomics and Bioethics: Interdisciplinary Perspectives, Technologies and Advancements, are being called in order to fulfill this lacuna.

Objective of the Book
The objective of the book is thus to contribute to the existing gap in interdisciplinary research on comparative studies of cultural, social and ethical implications of genomics and bioinformatics. The focus will be ethical, social, cultural, and legal implications of genetics, genomics and genetic databanking as they are related to concrete cultural and historical traditions.

Target Audience
The book should be of interest to a wide range of researchers and academics, due to its interdisciplinary and integrative feature. Philosophers, sociologists, anthropologists, scholars in area studies, computer scientists, biologists, geneticists, health care professionals, and policy makers, among others, should find this book useful for their work and research. The book could be a very good textbook for students in a variety of fields as well, including genomics, bioethics, bioinformatics, philosophy and others.

Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Cultural or religious perspectives on genomics, bioinformatics, databanking
• Legal perspectives from various countries on these issues
• Genetic privacy
• Property rights and personality rights in genomics and bioinformatics
• The role of informed consent
• Comparative studies of biobanking
• Genomic, bioinformatics and biobanking in developing countries

Submission Procedure
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before July 15, 2009, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by July 31, 2009 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by September 30, 2009. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project.

Dear Darryl and Gwen

I will be happy to be a connection participating your project from Taiwan.

Bioethics activities developed rapidly here.

I am in charge of a few national educational and clinical practice oriented bioethics programs commissioned by Ministry of Education and Department of Health. It will be interesting to have exchange and dialogue with the UNESCO program in Asia and Pacific and in Paris.t

Look forward to further correspondence and collaboration.

Eemail from : Joint Programme Commission NGOs-UNESCO, Paris on Science and Ethics

To : NGOs working in education, science and/or ethics with UNESCO, Bangkok

Dear Friends,

We have been asked by UNESCO to try to connect with NGOs in the region covered by the UNESCO Regional Office for Asia and Pacific countries in Bangkok. We wish to promote an exchange of information on subjects that concern all of us in science and ethics. For several years now our Science and ethics Programme Commission at UNESCO headquarters in Paris has been working on this subject, with special focus on bioethics. We would like to find ways to enrich our own discussions with viewpoints and focuses from NGOs working with UNESCO regional offices in the rest of the world.

For a start, Darryl Macer of the UNESCO Bangkok Education sector has suggested we ask you if you would be interested in making a connection with us for future collaboration. If this idea appeals to you, we could next work together on the best ways of communicating and exchanging information with you. For example, we have produced several booklets on bioethics that we could make available on-line, and you may also have work that you could send us.

We look forward to hearing from you, with thanks,

For the Joint Programme Commission Science and ethics

Dear All,

The dates for the sixth ordinary session of the World Commission of
the Ethics of Science and Technology (COMEST) have been set to be
16-18 June, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. There will also be a satellite
on 15 June. COMEST will be finalizing a report on ethics of climate
change, and several of the regional EETAP reports that are ready
(having completed review stages) will also be tabled there. The COMEST
report will go to the General Conference of UNESCO.

The WG reports will also be important documents, and these will
hopefully come at the critical time as UN documents in the
preparations for the Climate change convention to be discussed this
year.

There will be some space for open contributions, on ethics of climate
change, energy ethics, science ethics, nanotechnology ethics,
establishing national infrastructure for ethical science policy and
several other topics. Please send 250 word abstracts by 10 April to me
for consideration.

There will be no registration fee to the conference.

With best wishes

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

Those who are interested in participating in the Workshop should submit an
abstract of
between 150 to 300 words to Mr Parkpume Vanichaka at parkpume@....
Abstracts
are accepted for considerations which consider the ethical, legal, social,
cultural aspects of
nanotechnology as well as other related technologies. Abstracts dealing with
these issues
in relation to the context of the developing country (not only in Asia) are
especially
welcome.

The following topics would be particularly suitable for the Workshop, though the
list is not
exhaustive:

Human enhancement through nanotechnology
Life extension
Nanomedicine
Safety issues arising from nanomaterial
Nanotechnology for development
Neuroethics
Legal and regulatory issues

Timeline

Last date for submission of abstract: 28 March 2009
Notification of Acceptance: 30 April 2009
Submission of full paper: 15 July 2009
Workshop date: 13 � 15 August 2009
