Teaching Bioethics in the Classroom
Decision-makers in both international organizations and national governments are faced with the following situation in the early years of the 21st century:
• the pace of change (e.g. economic, social, political, environmental, technological) is accelerating,
• many of the challenges (e.g., in food, water, energy, education, health, security) are regional and global, and
• the major issues are increasingly intertangled with significant scientific and technical questions.
The present mechanisms for providing scientifically credible, cross-disciplinary advice for addressing the complex challenges and opportunities facing international decision-makers need to be strengthened and expanded.
