Description: This 2012 conference will celebrate the first 25 years of the existence of EACME. This conference will celebrate and reflect on the many contributions made in and to European bioethics to date. The objective is to get a better understanding of the academic and social status of bioethics as it is being supported and practiced by various disciplines, applied to a wide range of areas and, after 25 years, still searching for its own identity. The conference theme, “Other voices, other rooms” is borrowed from Truman Capote’s novel, which deals with issues of coming of age, including embracing one’s identity, understanding others, caring and being cared for, searching for oneself and for those to whom one is relationally bound. The Conference speakers and participants will investigate how these issues reflect on the identity of European medical ethics, and the many places and people with whom it is intimately bound. “Other voices, other rooms” is therefore the theme for this conference, which wants to celebrate and investigate the many contributions which have made been to date, and speculate about the developments we might anticipate as European bioethics continues to evolve and expand.
