Eubios Ethics
Institute, University of Tsukuba, IUBS and the Asian Bioethics Association welcome
you to the:
Proposal for an Integrative Human Idea Map and the Methodology
of Cross-Cultural and Multidisciplinary Bioethics
Eighth International
Tsukuba Bioethics Roundtable (TRT8)
15-18 February, 2003, Japan
The meeting will
be held at the University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba Science City, Japan (direct city
- airport bus service from Narita and Haneda airports). For background on this
Proposal for an Integrative Human Idea Map see the letter
in 14 November, 2002 issue of Nature,
and the fuller paper on Mental mapping in November
2002 issue of EJAIB. Submitted
abstracts are welcome, on this theme, and environmental and medical bioethics.
As a result of this conference a mental mapping home page was announced and a project began.
As in recent TRTs we expect to have about 50 foreign scholars joined 50 Japanese scholars in an informal atmosphere. In addition to those on the speakers program, participants from countries in Asia, and around the world. The focus is on interactive bioethics debate so every speaker is limited to ten minutes, followed by roundtable discussion.
Hope to welcome you
again,
Darryl Macer, (Updated 12 March, 2003).
