Kurzbeschreibung: Human cloning is a main focus of current bioethical discussions. Involving the selfunderstanding of the human species, it has become
one of the most intensely debated topics in biomedical ethics, not only on the national, but also on the international level.

This conference brings together bioethicists from several countries who will address questions of human cloning within the context of
different cultural, religious and regional settings against the background of globalizing biotechnology. It will thus explore on a
cross-cultural level the problems and opportunities of global bioethics.
