China and Europe form new bioethics alliance

From SciDev.Net
[BEIJING] Chinese and European bioethicists and life scientists have formed a new expert group to promote ethical behaviour in biomedical research in both regions.

At a meeting in Beijing last week (1-6 April) the Ethical Expert Group of BIONET ― a European-Chinese collaboration on ethical governance in life sciences ― was established, consisting of leading bioethicists and biomedical researchers.

The group's chair, Christoph Rehmann-Sutter, a professor of bioethics at the University of Basel, Switzerland, said they would hold four workshops and two conferences in China over the next three years.
