Oral
International Public Health Ethics and Justice
The original idea of "bioethics" as suggested by Van Potter was a "science of survival" that demanded a response from both science and the humanities to environmentla degradation and crisis. This session calls for abstracts that suggest meaningful ways to link global concerns with local public health ethics. Of particular interest may be associations between poverty and environmental decline, and moral responses to globalization from the perspective of public health.
Learning Objectives: Discuss globalization and research, wit a particular focus on paternalism and the scientific models from a western perspective. This session calls for abstracts that suggest meaningful ways to link global concerns with local public health ethics. Of particular interest may be associations between poverty and environmental decline, and moral responses to globalization from the perspective of public health.
