UNESCO's Bioethics Programme was established to address such issues in 1993. Since then, it has adopted three declarations on human genetics and bioethics (1997, 2003 and 2005), set up numerous training programmes around the world and debated the need for an international convention on human reproductive cloning. Negotiating Bioethics presents Langlois' research on the negotiation and implementation of the three declarations and the human cloning debate, based on fieldwork carried out in Kenya, South Africa, France and the UK, among policy-makers, geneticists, ethicists, civil society representatives and industry professionals. The book examines whether the UNESCO Bioethics Programme is an effective forum for (a) decision-making on bioethics issues and (b) ensuring ethical practice. Considering two different aspects of the UNESCO Bioethics Programme - deliberation and implementation - at international and national levels, Langlois explores: - how relations between developed and developing countries can be made more equal - who should be involved in global level decision-making and how this should proceed - how overlap between initiatives can be avoided - what can be done to improve the implementation of international norms by sovereign states - how far universal norms can be contextualized - what impact the efficacy of national level governance has at international level Drawing on extensive empirical research, Negotiating Bioethics presents a truly global perspective on bioethics 2019-10-17 15:08:39 2020-04-01T12:40:17Z 2014-05-28 23:55 2019-10-17 15:08:39 2020-04-01T12:40:17Z 2020-04-01T12:40:17Z 2013 chapter 1000026 OCN: 1051776667 9780203101797 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/29928 eng application/pdf n/a Introduction - Negotiating Bioethics - NCBI Bookshelf.pdf Taylor & Francis Negotiating bioethics Routledge 7b3c7b10-5b1e-40b3-860e-c6dd5197f0bb ee1c0efc-4258-4309-8acd-c48d501a5776 d859fbd3-d884-4090-a0ec-baf821c9abfd 9780203101797 Wellcome Routledge 192 1 075315 Wellcome Trust Wellcome open access
